  • How to use the Records

    Researchers should consult VPRS 13719 Database Index to Teacher Record Books to ascertain the record number of the teacher(s) for whom they are searching.

  • Function / Content
    The majority of this series is a microfilm copy of VPRS 13579 Teacher Record Books.

    The original series VPRS 13579 was created to provide a summary of the working history of each teacher in government service in Victoria. These were microfilmed by the Education Department as a preservation measure during the 1980s.

    Although the information contained within the volumes does change over the years, essentially entry states:

    The name of the teacher
    Their date of birth
    (Sometimes) Place of birth
    Roll No. (the School Number)
    Classification (this is that of the teacher, based on assessment, promotions etc.)
    Authority (the date the teacher commenced at a particular school) and
    Remarks

    The last records from VPRS 13579 are in Unit 7. At this point a copy begins of VPRS 13974 Teacher Inventory by School (with the front-page title "Staff Book (1)"), continuing in Unit 8. Several other series follow. The following is a list of the titles that the Department of Education applied to these series when they were microfilmed, followed by the title given by PROV.

    Dept of Education Title ---- PROV title

    Staff Book (1) ---- VPRS 13974 Teacher Inventory by School

    Temp Book (2) ---- VPRS 13973 Temporary Teacher Inventory by School
