Beggs papers at Sovereign Hill The Sovereign Hill Museums Association in Ballarat has more than 150 000 objects, most concerned, directly or indirectly, with the history of the discovery and exploitation of the region's gold. Yesterday I visited the museum to view a sample of what are known as the Beggs Papers, donated to it in 1978. The archive, which fills 30 boxes, is composed of documents, letters, commercial correspondence, invoices, receipts, and ledgers of the Beggs estate and sheep-grazing business at Beaufort, thirty miles to the west of Ballarat. https://anneyoungau.wordpress.com/2025/11/07/beggs-papers-at-sovereign-hill/
