In 1919, after World War 1 ended, the Trustees of the Mitchell Library, Sydney advertised that they wished to acquire original manuscripts, photographs, realia and pictures made by Australian service personnel in all theatres of war. While some of the items were donated by service men and women, the Library also purchased material.

This collection comprises 169 record series arranged by individual works and includes a collection of portraits of NSW servicemen. You may navigate to a more detailed description of each series from this collection record.

A bibliography of servicemen's and women's diaries of World War I held in the Mitchell Library is available at PXn 878.
