A collection of 13 collections documenting Australian childhood culture from an ethnographic perspective, it incorporates records in text, image, sound and 3D formats. It represents dominant, Indigenous and immigrant cultures, spanning 140 years, with specialised material from the 1950s and 1970s-80s.
