Reading Room and Record Retrievals 20-21

Each year, up to 15,000 visitors attend the PROV reading room(s) to view original Victorian State Government historical records held within our collection.\r\n\r\nAs 99% of our collection is in original hard copy format, a researcher must either order a record and request a remote photocopy or digital copy order or attend the reading room to view and make their own copies of the original record.\r\n\r\nPROV does not provide a research service for researchers who are unable to attend the reading room. A researcher must either engage a search agent or ask a friend or family member to attend on their behalf to view the original record.

每年，最高可达15000名访客前往维多利亚州档案办公室（PROV）阅览室，查阅本馆馆藏的维多利亚州政府原始历史档案。

由于本馆99%的馆藏均为原始纸质版本，研究人员要么预约档案并申请远程影印或数字副本，要么亲自前往阅览室查阅并自行复制原始档案。

维多利亚州档案办公室（PROV）不为无法亲临阅览室的研究人员提供档案查阅服务。研究人员要么聘请档案检索代理，要么委托亲友代为前往查阅原始档案。
