COLLECTIONS

We’ve been building and researching our valuable collections since 1994. They’re an irreplaceable resource for understanding the past, reflecting on the present and looking into the future. 

The Museum preserves crucial resources on Western Australian childhood history. Its database of student records from 1940 onward—containing details on parental occupations, home addresses, contributory and destination schools, and student siblings—offers valuable data for academic researchers.

Our research library houses several hundred books and reference materials on the school’s history, including journals, newsletters, yearbooks, student diaries, teachers’ programs, exam materials, and hundreds of news clippings, with nearly half featuring photos.
