Friends of ANME are a crucial part of our efforts to record Australia’s educational history. People are contributing in various ways — by locating educational archival material, documenting and digitising our collection, and by spreading the word.
Contribute to ANME
We need your support
The ANME belongs to the people of Australia. And with support, we can continue to develop the museum into the national icon we all deserve. There are many ways to contribute to ANME.
National Register of School Museums
If you are a member of a school museum check if it is listed here and consider joining our network.
Donate to our collection
Do you think you may have an education artefact of national significance that could enhance our collection? We’d love to hear from you and help you make that assessment. Click here to find out more about what we collect and how to donate items to the ANME.
Volunteer with us
ANME operates with the institutional support of the University of Canberra, but volunteers provide the perspiration. There are roles aplenty for volunteers in Canberra and across our distributed network, including research, sorting, cataloguing and event preparation. If you would like to express interest in volunteering, contact us and we will be in touch.

Support us financially
Financial donations and bequests are always welcome. Our vision for ANME requires funding on a much more substantial scale than is currently available.
