I wasn’t feeling well on the day the class visted the Public Record Office ( PRO ) so I did some research about the place, since I didnt know it existed and what exactly is that office.

So firstly I went to their website and understands that they holds records created by Victorian government departments and authorities, the State’s courts, municipalities, schools, public hospitals and other public offices. The records date from the establishment of the Port Phillip District in the mid 1830s and include information relating to areas of activity managed or regulated by government such as the administration of justice, immigration, health and welfare, land, education, Indigenous communities, planning, transport, and resource management.
Secondly, I came across the family search option, where people can track down records of their great great grandfather , even with the help from the staff.
And then they have reading rooms for public , to access and look at records but the rooms are strictly supervised and visitor need to register in order to enter, and there are things that are prohibited in the rooms such as Pens, Folders, clipboards or plastic sleeves, Bags, Containers of any kind, Food or drink.
