Ask us

Got a question? We can provide research advice and expertise about our museums’ collections and programs. We can also help you contact a Museums Victoria Research Institute staff member.

The Ask Us service will be limited until November 2026. 

We will continue to respond to: 

  • Enquiries from First Peoples and First Nations communities
  • General enquiries about museum programs and events
  • Science, History and Technology, Library and Archives collection access requests
  • School and university student projects
  • Requests for existing images. No new digitisation is possible 

If you have an urgent request, or are unsure whether we can assist, please submit your enquiry and our team will advise. 

If your enquiry relates to family history, general research support, item identification, and object donations, please contact us again with your request after the 1 November.
