Formally established in May of 1917, the AWRS grew to include over 600 military and civilian personnel. This department was put in charge of collecting and preserving any and all records that were relevant to Australia’s military experiences. Over the remainder of World War I it amassed more than 25,000 documents, photographs and other memorabilia.

Two years after the AWRS was created the Australian War Memorial was established and today the memorial is comprised of three parts, one of which is the research centre where all war memorial records are kept.
