About the Archival Support Program This program is a joint initiative of Public Record Office Victoria and the Australian Society of Archivists Inc., supported by National Archives of Australia. It offers advice and instruction to the many local custodians of collections of historical documents. These sessions are aimed at historical societies, small archives and museums, but will also be of interest to individuals preserving private collections for the future. The Archival Support Program has been running for ten years and sessions have been attended by hundreds of people from across Victoria and represent great learning and networking opportunities.
