Your contribution makes a difference
Support us to grow, preserve and share our collection of more than 100 years of film, sound, broadcast and games – priceless treasures that belong to all Australians.
By making a financial contribution, or offering an item to the collection, you will help us tell the national story through the rich medium of audiovisual content.
Support us financially
Films, tapes, recordings, photographs and costumes all deteriorate over time and need constant care. It's a costly, specialised and ongoing job. But it's work we love. You can make a difference and help us protect and share more of these priceless treasures. Donations over $2 are tax deductible.
