Surveying and Mapping the Collection

Further information about this guide and the records it describes, including transfer arrangements, custodianship and other contextual information, is held in the office files and the Heritage Documentation Management System (HDMS) database at the eScholarship Research Centre, University of Melbourne.

Arrangement and Description of the Records

In 2007 the records were transferred to the State Library of Victoria in 2007 from the eScholarship Research Centre (eSRC, previously Austehc) at the University of Melbourne, and in 2009 eSRC staff undertook a survey of the collection, including the arrangement and description of the records. Large inventory items were separated to allow better storage and listing, and the full collection was re-housed in collaboration with the State Library of Victoria to ensure its preservation. At the same time, all provenance, series and item descriptions were reviewed and, where required, edited.

The 2009 edition of the Arthur Raymond Sloman Guide to Records has been produced as a result of this work.
