A very messy archive. There are still some pages related to the fight to retain
the Powerhouse museum in Ultimo, but the major websites are
https://powerhousemuseumalliance.com/ and the private website
http://maasbusinesscase.com/ - and
various Facebook pages of which the most
significant is

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.
