If you have purchased an old property in Malmsbury, or have a photo (or records) of an ancestor's property that you would like to know more about, we can use our records to construct a Property History. Do you need heritage information for a VCAT application?
Look at our LIST OF HOLDINGS to see if we may have information that you are looking for.

Property History |
|
Is your area of interest related more to a subject than a name or place? Are you interested in mining history, railways, police, weeds, environment, wildlife etc.? Look at our LIST OF HOLDINGS to see if we may have information that you are looking for. Our process of indexing our records includes a broad range of keywords to suit a wide range of interests. While we can create a subject report for you, this sort of research is often best done in person. Let our experienced researchers guide you through our collection to see if we have the sort of information you are looking for, or if we know where else you can find it. |

|
Please remember that all of our work is done by a very small group of volunteers, and very little of what we produce is an "off the shelf" product. We tailor-make each report to suit the customer's needs. Each research request is registered and placed in a queue to be completed as time and volunteer numbers permit. We will usually acknowledge receipt of your request by email if an email address is provided with the form.
Your patience is appreciated, As we also work on indexing records, creating new local history publications, and administering the Society, sometimes there can be a delay of a few months. If there is a justifiable reason for giving your request priority attention, and we agree to do so, a priority fee is payable. Please keep this in mind if you are intending to hold a family reunion of publish a family history with a deadline. |
