- For those wanting to research within the AWM’s collection and order them four weeks prior:
- Your will need to identify what records they would like to view.
- Please note, during development visits the reading room has a few caveats:
  - – visits to the reading room are for the purpose of viewing collection material only.
  - – bookings are required, and the temporary reading room only has space for 7 visitors per session.
  - – to retrieve collection material during development, we generally request four weeks’ notice to retrieve and deliver collections to the temporary reading room.
  - Further information, and the form to book a visit to the reading room, can be found on the AWM website: https://www.awm.gov.au/research
Lunch is at your own expense on this day, the bus will return at 1.00 pm to both sites, if you wish to spend some time at both.
