And it has just been pointed out to me that the website I gave you has not
been updated since 2001, so beware. I'm guilty of not reading it thoroughly.
Here's the latest on the PROV. (Hope I've got it right this time.)

The National Gallery of Victoria has now relocated its staff back to the
newly refurbished National Gallery on St Kilda Road. Over the next few
months, Public Record Office Victoria will undertake a fit-out of the
vacated floor space in the Victorian Archives building.
Of most significance to researchers, the fit-out includes the new reading
room. On present indications it will open in April 2004, at which time the
Melbourne Archives Centre Reading Room at Casselden Place will close. For
the first time since PROV was established in 1973, all of its Melbourne
operations will be based in one location.
The close working relationship between Public Record Office Victoria and the
National Archives of Australia will continue in the new reading room. The
joint PROV/NAA operation which has worked so well at the Melbourne Archives
Centre will continue in the new Harry Nunn Reading Room at the Victorian
Archives.
The relocation of the reading room to North Melbourne will again allow
on-site access to PROV record holdings. On-site access to public records
will give PROV the opportunity to offer enhanced services to researchers.
