The State Library of Victoria is uniquely placed to tell the story of Victoria and its changing face. From its earliest days to the present, the Library has collected key items, documents and images that record the history and development of Victoria, and inform our understanding of who we are. These sites draw on materials from the State Library's rich and diverse collections to tell a series of tales about the people, places and events that have shaped a place called Victoria.
