AWM Memorial Boxes
Memorial Boxes can be used to invigorate classroom lessons, inspire historical investigation, and add meaning to commemorative activities. They can also be adapted for use as a therapeutic tool in an aged care facility or as an interactive display in a community museum.
Put your hands on history with these engaging learning resources for any age. Memorial Boxes are filled with real and replica uniforms, equipment, artefacts, and more. They are supported by a range of case studies and activities which are available online (via AWM).
The museum has the following memorial boxes available:
Box 01

Box 02
Australia in Wartime and Peacekeeping Operations since 1946
Box 03
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Wartime Service
Box 04
