Film and Sound at the Australian War Memorial

The Film Collection currently comprises over 8000 items, including almost 3,000,000 feet of original cine film and over 1000 hours of original video.

The scope of the collection is wide, covering many aspects of Australian involvement in war and armed conflict, and spanning a period that commences with the Boer War and continues to the present day. The purpose of the film and sound collection is to document and preserve Australian war history in moving image and sound.

The Memorial's Film Collection is managed by the Film Section, a curatorial area within the Memorial's National Collections Branch. The Section is responsible for the acquisition, preservation and provision of access to the Memorial's film, video and sound recordings.
