ANME's mission is to promote an understanding of the history of Australian education.
We do this through:
- the development and preservation of our collection.
- support for related research and scholarship.
- collaboration with school museums and communities across the nation.
ANME is an integral part of the University of Canberra. We provide:
- an onsite repository for research for pre-service and practising teachers.
- training for students of heritage, conservation and museology.
- an annual ANME Prize to recognize excellence and service by students in heritage studies.
The ANME was founded by Dr Malcolm Beazley AM in 1996, with a Seed Grant from the Australian College of Educators.
ANME’s physical repository began in a small room at the Australian College of Educators in Canberra. In the 1990s, the University of Canberra offered premises for storing and displaying the collection in its Building 5, home to the Faculty of Education at the time. In the early 2000s, ANME formally became an integral part of the University of Canberra and continues to receive direct support from UC’s Faculty of Education and Faculty of Arts and Design.
