ANZAC Day and the National Archives of Australia

The National Archives keeps valuable records of the Australian Government and makes them available to the public, now and in the future.
The records in their collection trace the events and decisions that shaped the nation.
What is it about?

Their records include papers of Governors-General, Prime Ministers and Ministers. They have Cabinet documents, Royal Commission files and departmental records on defence, immigration, security and intelligence, naturalisation and many other issues.
When were the records made?

The focus of their collection is records created since the formation of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. They also have some 19th century records relating to functions that were transferred by the colonies to the Australian government, including shipping and post offices.
As well as caring for our collection, the National Archives makes the records accessible to all Australians.
