Our onsite repository at the University of Canberra 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.
"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."
