Welcome

At this time, the main focus of this very amateur website is to archive the information that is being collected as a basis for a small booklet that is being produced to record the heritage values of the Powerhouse Museum buildings which are scheduled for destruction.
Other archives on this site:
In July 1914, the
French pilot Maurice Guillaux flew from
Sydney to Melbourne with Australia’s first air mail and air freight. A
re-enactment took place in July 2014. www.australiasfirstairmail.com
.
One aim of the
re-enactment is to gather the historical knowledge of this period.

This
collection is huge (over 140 cubic metres) and contains many remarkable items.
It is in the custody of the board of AAMB. I am happy to assist with
communication to the board in regard to any matter relevant to the collection.
Digitising
the material and making it available on the internet is a new skill for the
people involved. If you have a slow internet connection you may find that some
large items take too long to load. We are working on this problem and hope to
improve things soon.
