MEMORIAL BOXES
Australia in wartime - an education resource
Memorial Boxes are engaging learning resources, filled with real and replica uniforms, equipment, artefacts, and more. They are supported by a range of case studies and activities which are available online. Memorial Boxes can be used to invigorate classroom lessons, inspire historical investigation, and add meaning to commemorative activities. They can also be adapted for use as a therapeutic tool or as a display in a community museum.
Please note: The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG) is the Tasmanian agent for distribution of this resource. For areas outside of Tasmania find your local agent here.
The Boxes:
There are four different Memorial Boxes available, corresponding to different conflicts or aspects of wartime experience.
Memorial Box 1 - Australia in the First World War
Go back 100 years to a defining moment in our nation's history, and put yourself in the shoes of those who were there.
Memorial Box 2 - Australia in Wartime and Peacekeeping Operations since 1946
Journey through more than 70 years of the Australian Defence Force’s contributions to peace and security across the globe. Explore Australian involvement in Japan, Korea, Vietnam, East Timor, Bougainville, Pakistan, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
Memorial Box 3 - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander wartime service
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people please be aware that this resource contains images and names of deceased persons.
Filled with real and replica uniforms, equipment and artefacts, this Memorial Box explores the unique wartime experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and their significant contribution to Australia’s defence over time.
Memorial Box 4 - Australia in the Second World War
This Memorial Box explores the Australian experience of the Second World War – a war that seemed to affect every aspect of life, with Australia itself coming under attack. Almost a million Australians served, at home and abroad, on land, at sea, or in the air. Their stories come to life as you unpack the real and replica Second World War items in this Box.
