These are on restricted access at the Eureka Centre, Ballarat East. We often receive enquiries about local church records, particularly for marriages that cannot be found in the early BDMs Index for Victoria. It is our experience that all the records we hold have made it into the Victorian Government Department of Justice Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages.
Church services of all denominations on the diggings were first held in the open in the shade of gum trees and under canvas. Subscriptions from the diggers enabled the building of grander places of worship in timber, brick, and stone. Visitors to Ballarat would still be able to see many examples of fine churches in the streetscapes of the main thoroughfares.
