Veterans Heritage Project

The Veterans Heritage Project brings ex-service organisations together with museum professionals to help protect, preserve, and increase access to Victoria’s war heritage.

This website looks back on a century of service by Victorians through a selection of 100 items catalogued and made digitally available to the public during the project.

These objects and oral histories represent hundreds of hours of behind the scenes work by their dedicated custodians and form an enduring digital memorial to our veterans.
