Sunbeam Victa Corporation Limited is an Australian manufacturing company comprising three divisions whose brand names have become synonymous with quality, innovation, and reliability.

Sunbeam Corporation had the reputation of being the largest manufacturer in Australia of portable electrical appliances and sheep-shearing equipment. The firm also owns Victa Limited, the manufacturer of the largest selling brand of lawnmowers in Australia.

This archive's principal significance is that it provides design and historical documentation for the development of some of the leading products (domestic and rural), which were developed by Sunbeam Corporation and its precursor companies during much of the twentieth century.

The collection was developed and collected by several generations of employees at Sunbeam/Victa Corporation.

Prior ownership of all this material was held by Sunbeam Corporation.
