Now THIS will keep me busy! The Rate Books collection is from the Public Record Office of Victoria, but with the advantages of Ancestry’s search features (which I think are actually pretty good).
Victoria, Australia, Rate Books, 1855-1963
Something I would like to see is an easy way to see all the record sets on Ancestry that are sourced from a particular archive. eg a quick way to see what else they have from the Public Record Office of Australia. I know of a few PROV collections on there – I wonder what else I’m missing? Do you know of a way?
So many resources, so little Time.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like every time I think I'm catching up on processing information I've gathered something new and shiny appears. I'm not complaining!!!
DeleteIf you go to Ancestry's Card Catalogue, and type Public Record Office Victoria in the Keywords field, it comes up with a list of 7 collections:

Thanks Lois. I think the problem was that I included the word "of" when I searched. My search only returned three, which I knew wasn't right.
