The Veterans Heritage Project was supported by the Veterans Branch, Victorian Government, and delivered by AMaGA Victoria in two phases from 2016-2021.

The project saw Victorian Collections staff working closely with selected ex-service organisations to help protect, preserve and increase access to their military history and stories. Their members and memorabilia form an integral part of Victoria’s cultural heritage legacy and tell us important stories about everyday Australians’ experiences of war.

John Eren announced the second phase of the War Heritage Collections Training Program, as part of the Veterans Heritage Project 'Beyond The Centenary: Uncovering Victoria's War Heritage Through 100 Objects and Stories ' website launch on Wednesday 16 August 2018.
