An original Commonwealth Savings Bank of Australia Depositor's Passbook belonging to the Emerald History Museum. This passbook was issued 15th February 1980 and features UV signature technology.Methods of banking developed significantly between the 1970's and 80s in Australia with the credit card, black light passbook signatures and later the passbook-less card based accounts and EFTPOS. While a very few passbook accounts may still exist, this item is a great reminder of the days before the convenience we now enjoy. Emerald Museum was established as a formal collecting entity in 1969 based at the Emerald Hall, acquiring material by donation from local community members. In 1988 the former Shire of Sherbrooke with the help of State Government purchased the only remaining section of the former C. A. Nobelius & Sons Nursery (VHR place details ID/H2285). By the late 1980s the collection had been relocated to a shed on the former nursery. This collection included written records of the nursery’s operations that had been maintained throughout its ownership by the Nobelius family and L. Linton. However in the damp shed, the collection’s condition deteriorated. The nursery records received extensive conservation treatment to restore their condition and are now held as a complete collection at Emerald Museum. After the Emerald community lobbied extensively for a place to house their local heritage, the Shire agreed to construct a purpose-built facility within the former nursery where it has resided since 1993. The land was officially opened as the public ‘Nobelius Heritage Park’ in the same year.This item is significant to our collection due to the relevance of financial transaction data belonging to the Emerald Museum.Emerald History Museum's Depositor's Passbook, issued by Commonwealth Savings Bank of Australia.

The first Government controlled savings bank was established on 1 January 1842 under New South Wales legislation. Known as the Savings Bank of Port Phillip it was administered by a Board of Trustees and a Vice-President. Branches of this Bank were subsequently established in other parts of the colony. In 1853 a statutory body known as The Commissioners of Savings Banks in the Colony of Victoria was constituted under the Savings' Bank Act and each bank was thereafter to be a separate and independent institution with its own trustees and officers - however, between 1896 and 1912 the independent Savings Banks of Victoria merged to become a single institution and this development was formalised by the 1912 legislation. From 1980 the Bank was known as the State Bank of Victoria under the provisions of the State Bank Act 1980. The State Bank of Victoria established its own Archives before the Bank was sold in 1990 to the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. After the sale, the Archives of the State Bank continued to operate until the Archives' holdings were transferred to the state archives.Bundles of papers from the State Savings Bank, Clunes - Loss of Pass Book Notices 1918-1961 - Deceased Estates 1916-1965 - A/C Stops 1923-1961 - Passbook Cheque Book 1949 - Stat Dec 1946 - Dep.
