PictureVictoria

PictureVictoria is an Internet based service that provides access to many pictorial collections simultaneously. The site aims to complement existing portals, such as Picture Australia and the State Library of Victoria's Picture Collection

When you search PictureVictoria, you are searching the collections of local history societies that have been digitised in collaboration with public libraries. The images will relate to Victoria - people, places, buildings and events. They may be black and white, or colour photographs; drawings; sketches; paintings or maps. All the images that are searchable through PictureVictoria are also available through searching Picture Australia.

While not yet a comprehensive survey of the local history collections held by public libraries across the State, it is hoped that as the database grows it will prove to be a valuable addition to the wealth of local and national history resources accessible online.

The PictureVictoria administration team is keen to hear from you. Please send us your comments about this search service. We will also forward comments and questions to specific member agencies on your behalf, or you may contact them directly.
