About
The Bendigo Regional Archives Centre (BRAC) is a Class A Place of Deposit holding permanent public records from the Public Record Office of Victoria (PROV)'s collection which relate to eight Local Government Areas - City of Greater Bendigo, Campaspe Shire, Shire of Mt Alexander, Rural City of Mildura, Gannawarra Shire, City of Swan Hill, Loddon Shire and Buloke Shire, and former shire and bodies in that coverage area. The collection encompasses records from government agencies such as councils, hospitals, courts, infrastructure boards and more.
Researchers can view all items held at this repository at the Bendigo reading room located on the first floor of the Bendigo Library in Hargreaves Street Bendigo. The Reading Room is open 10:00am to 4:00pm every Wednesday and Thursday (closed on public holidays). All records can be ordered through the PROV catalogue.
