About

Transcribe is an Australian War Memorial initiative to provide greater access to the Memorial’s national collection. 

The Australian War Memorial was conceived as a shrine, museum and archive that supports commemoration through understanding.  

Today, the Memorial holds a diverse collection of material relating to the Australian experience of war; and an archive holding extensive official and unofficial documents, diaries and papers, making the Memorial a centre of research for Australian military history. 

Transcribe is an online platform that allows the public to transcribe scanned text from the National Collection to ensure their future discoverability and accessibility.  

We invite you to be a part of history and help us to make remembrance, learning and records relating to Australia’s wartime experiences available to all.
