This on-line library of historical documents and publications is available to view and download, BUT please respect any copyright that may apply. Whilst the collection is extensive, it is by no means complete, and added to as documents are discovered in various archives and personal collections.
For ease in searching the library, documents and publications have been thematically grouped. Please take the time to look at the Collection notes, where provided, as they provide a brief background and historical context.
If there are documents produced by the Victorian Parliament that you think may be useful, but they are not available on this site then use the link below.

Annual Reports/Years Books
All available VicForest Annual Reports are in the Site Library. For the years 2006-07 to 2014-15, and the year 2017-18 we have added Sustainability Reports, that were originally published separately, to the end of the relevant Annual Report. Sustainability Reports were not produced in either 2015-16 or 2016-17.

Opportunities for the Riverain Red Gum Forests of the Central Murray. B Dexter & M Poynter October 2005
The Board was asked to consider and report upon the subject of wattle bark, and whether the indiscriminate stripping of the trees, caused by the increasing demand for bark in Continental and English markets, in addition to the requirements of Victorian tanners, was likely to lead to the early extermination of the trees or to a reduction of the supply necessary for the home trade even temporarily. The Board were also asked to state whether forest regulations could be so framed as to conserve and encourage the growth of the wattle trees in order that a sufficient supply of bark might be ensured for local requirements as well as for the maintainance of the export trade.

Carver Papers
The Carver Papers
This collection of historic forestry documents was put together by MW Carver, and we acquired a copy in May 2022. You will find some of the documents in the Carver Collection are duplicated by papers collected and made available before the "Papers" came into our possession
"Carver’s papers, Forestry in Victoria 1838-1919" are considered by some historians as the authoritative source. Morris Carver was a clerk in the Forests Department where, in the late 1920s, he was given the task of destroying ‘inactive files’. This task may have led him to compile his history. He indexed reports, gazette references and other documents up to 1919 and provided an overview. He produced staff lists for 1908 and 1917, but did not include nursery and plantation staff as these staff were neither listed nor counted by the Public Service." ( See: VSF Origins, G Fahey)
What is available through this site are separate volumes which cover the entire collection. When you access the documents you will find a file called Carver Volume Index.pdf which has been extracted from the papers to help you find your way quickly. Volume E contains an extensive Index covering all Volumes but also, and perhaps more importantly, Carver's own summary of the documentation he has put together. It is a good place to start.
Some of the copying is of poor quality. Volume C mostly concerns the Royal Commission established in 1897. All fourteen Reports of the Commission are available separately, and in good quality within the folder linked below. They can also be accessed through the General Publications section in this library.
Carver has information about Forestry people in both of Volumes A & E. That information has been extracted and collated as accurately as possible, and the collated information can be found in the Forestry People spreadsheet inside the Forests Staff-Pre FCV and Pre-FCV Staff- by Year tabs.
The availability of this digital copy of MW Carver’s five-volume set of "Forestry in Victoria 1838 - 1919" on this website has been made possible
thanks to the advocacy of Paul Barker and the management of Julie McCormack of the Public Records Office, Victoria.
