The Memorial has launched a new book, Australian War Memorial: treasures from a century of collecting, written by Nola Anderson, the Memorial's Acting Director. The book brings to life the Memorial's collection -- one of the most significant military history collections in the world. This comprehensive, lavishly illustrated publication covers the entire history of the collection, from its humble beginnings in the trenches of the First World War to the war in Afghanistan today.

The book tells the stories behind the objects that make up the collection, from those that represent a moment in time that all Australians know and understand to very intimate personal items the reveal an individual's story. Australian War Memorial: treasures from a century of collecting presents hundreds of objects, some iconic and some never seen before.
