Edited by Michael Cannon, the series details official correspondence, administrative records, and personal accounts, illustrating the tensions between imperial governance, frontier realities, and emerging civic identity. It chronicles the establishment of institutions, the impact of convict and immigrant populations, and the contested relationships with Indigenous communities. Each volume argues for the primacy of primary sources in reconstructing historical truth, offering scholars and collectors a meticulously curated and contextually annotated resource. Issued over nearly two decades by the Victorian Government Printing Office, the set commands attention as a cornerstone of Australian historiography.
