Australian War Memorial

The Australian War Memorial's collections reflect Australia's contribution to armed conflicts all over world: colonial wars in New Zealand and the Sudan, the Boer War, the suppression of the Boxer uprising in China, the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, the Malayan Emergency, Indonesian Confrontation, Vietnam, the Gulf War, and peacekeeping operations including East Timor.

Almost one million images are held in the Photograph Collection, and 200,000 are available online. Many of the photographs were taken by more than 200 official war and service photographers. A few of these, like Frank Hurley, Hubert Wilkins and Damien Parer, became household names. Some, including Parer, George Dick and Tom Fisher, were killed carrying out their work. Many other photographs have been donated by servicemen and servicewomen or by their families.

Included in the collection are images of the following subjects:

• individual and group portraits of military and support personnel
• battle scenes and battlefields
• military technology such as planes, ships and tanks
• military installations, hospitals, cemeteries, churches, points of embarkation
• Allied and enemy soldiers and local civilians
• scenes of the Australian homefront
