The Photographic Library at the AHM of WA is a vast treasure of photographic images from all periods of aviation history. We currently have over 32,000 images in all forms from glass plate negatives, nitrate & cellulose negatives, slides (colour & B/W), photos and computer scans. The vast majority come from private collections and most haven't been published before.

In the collection there are images from the dawn of aviation in W.A, Australia and the World, WWI aircraft (including a rare selection of prototypes of RFC/RAF and French aircraft) both from the Western Front and the Middle East, England and even the Italian Front. There is also post war civil and military, WWII (all fronts) and post WWII to current times (civil & military). These photos are all under copyright to the Museum and can only be published with due recognition to their source.

These photos can be purchased from the Museum as the Museum's Photo No. is shown next to each photo, if no number is shown it's from my own personal collection. The Museum's address and details are as below:
