ABOUT THE SOCIETY

Objectives

The Military Historical Society of Australia was founded in Melbourne in 1957.  Its aims are the encouragement and pursuit of study and research in military history, customs, traditions, dress, arms, equipment and kindred matters; the promotion of public interest and knowledge in these subjects, and the preservation of historical military objects with particular reference to the armed forces of Australia.

Research Enquiries

While the Society is happy to provide basic details of where to find information, it does not provide detailed research services to members of the public.  Federal Council has agreed that if a query could be answered with less than three hours work, a donation of $25 would be required  before any action would be taken. If it looked like more than three hours work, the enquirer would be referred to a professional research officer. The Society has some members who provide military research services, and these can be found in the Member Services section. The Australian War Memorial provides a list of research agents, which includes Society members.

If you have a research enquiry, please contact the  Research Coordinator
