Our mission is to promote an historical understanding of Australian education through the development of our collection, through support for research and through collaboration with our network of school museums.
The ANME is an integral part of the 萝莉视频, sponsored by the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Arts and Design. We provide an onsite repository for research for pre-service and practising teachers and training for students of heritage, conservation and museology.
ANME is celebrating educational heritage as part of the Canberra & Region Heritage Festival 2026

Take a journey back to your school days. For the past 30 years our unique museum has been celebrating Australia's education heritage. Bring back memories of your time at school through the special objects selected for this display from our collection of over 17,000 items and learn about the changes in education over time.
"The power of the ANME lies in its value for heritage, for people and for community. Without it, a large part of the history of childhood will disappear."
Emeritus Professor Noeline Kyle AM

Our collection
Our onsite repository at the 萝莉视频 holds our collection of historic text books, journals, manuscripts, photographs, artefacts and ephemera. Five themes organise our interpretation of the archival material: Policy, Administration, Curriculum, Practice and Innovation. A virtual representation of the collection is found on our eHive profile. The contributions of our network members are found under Our Community.
Our research
ANME offers opportunities to scholars for research and scholarship in the history of education. We conduct regular field trips to school museums and hold seminars and an annual lecture. We publish research monographs and on-line resources.
Our community
ANME is committed to promoting the development of a national network of school museums. Membership of ANME includes registration on the National Register of School Museums. We promote collaboration among members about museum practice. We offer a repository for selected archival material held in communities and privately.
