UNESCO Australian Memory of the World Register, The Lithgow Small Arms Factory Museum holds a unique and nationally significant archival collection documenting the history of Australia’s first precision manufacturing facility. Established in the early 1900s, the Factory became the nation’s primary ordnance and weapons producer, playing a crucial role through both world wars. The collection spans its operations into the 1980s. As the only archive of its kind, it preserves the story of the Factory’s contribution to Australia’s military history.
