The Army History Unit is responsible for the management of Army's rich collection of heritage objects. These objects are to be found in the network of Army museums located at a variety of sites across the country. The network is called the Army Museums Network and incorporates Army's Regional and Corps Museums.

Whilst care is taken to ensure the details below are correct, if you are planning to visit a museum, it is still advisable to phone the museum itself to check beforehand - operational tempo can affect opening hours, especially of museums on bases.

Army Unit History Rooms

In addition to the museums of the Army Museums Network many of the Army Units are rich sources of Army's history and heritage. Many units have established Unit History Rooms that hold valuable material relating to their history and heritage. The primary role of these history rooms is to preserve and present unit history to the unit's soldiers to develop esprit de corps and enhance unit training by increasing the understanding of unit history. Some units provide access to these rooms for the wider community.

Details of Unit History Rooms are available by contacting the AHU Museums Liaison Officer on (02) 6266 2645.
