Preserving Historical Records

Parks Victoria’s Yanakie Office holds a library of over 850 scientific research reports on Wilsons Promontory National Park and over 4,600 photographic slides. Much of this material exists in hard-copy form only.

 

The purpose of this project is to ensure the collection is accessible to scientific researchers and land managers by digitising all materials in the library and creating an on-line catalogue. Friends of the Prom volunteers have helped to digitise and collate many of these records using equipment supplied by Parks Victoria. Once the Parks Victoria protocols have been finalised, the digitised records will be made available online.
