While our digitisation project is well underway with 80% of collection objects currently listed online, there is much more work to be done. Your donation will assist the Powerhouse to add high quality photographs and full background information for the 50% of online objects with incomplete listings.
Started in 1879, the collection captures the ideas and technologies that have changed our world and the stories of the people who created them. As well as adding objects of significance to the collection, the Museum has the enormous task of maintaining and conserving the objects under its care.
