Public Record Office Victorian launched a new website that enables name or place searching for soldier settlers. It includes digitised records from soldier settlement files. It also tells some specific stories about soldier settlers and enables users to add their own content.
Battle to Farm enables public access to 10,000 government records on the Victorian Soldier Settlement Scheme. The scheme helped settle thousands of returned World War One soldiers on farming land across Victoria through government leases, drastically transforming the landscape of regional Victoria.
