The Australian Memory of the World Project believes the Charter of the Ballarat Reform League is impartant because it has instrumental historical significance for the events it records in goldrush Victoria, the Australian history of democratic Chartism which it incorporates, and the subsequent development of democratic representation in Victoria to which it contributed.[2]
