| The records of legal firms begin from the earliest days of the colony and range geographically from suburban Melbourne to Port Fairy, Portland, Warrnambool and Beechworth. These collections perdominantly contain client files: contracts, mortgages, leasing documents, wills and probates, marriage settlements, inventories and memoranda and articles of association of companies. Some files run over several generations of families and provide an interesting commentary on social and business history.
