By simply searching with [http://www.google.com/search?q=1996+University+of+Melbourne+melbourneIt "1996 University of Melbourne MelbourneIT"] we can find a [http://www.networkinsight.org/advisors/gerrand_peter.html viable reference] to support that fact. For most of the cases, the history part of the official website will try to summarize every event and by searching for references you can find more detailed information on each event which can help you write more information on the company. In this case, this link has helped to write a whole topic on how MelbourneIT entered the domain registration business.

* In this way, you can chronologically arrange all important milestones, events or any other information in the history with proper references. You may not find references to all of the points mentioned in the history page, you may not even need to cover all of the points in the first place.  Just keep an [[NPOV]] policy and include whatever you find necessary and interesting.

* For some companies, you may not find an organized history page. In that case, you can perform a chronological search starting from the foundation year of the company to the current. For example, MelbourneIT was founded in 1996 and if there is no pre-arranged history information, we could do a search like [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=MelbourneIT+1996 "MelbourneIT 1996"], [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=MelbourneIT+1997 "MelbourneIT 1997"], and [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=MelbourneIT+1998 "MelbourneIT 1998"] to the current year [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=MelbourneIT+2010 "MelbourneIT 2010"]. It may sound like a lot of work, but for most of the companies, you will only find information for some of the years. In this way, you are simply making sure that you are not missing any important or interesting information or events.
