Edwin’s collecting interests include the impact of the world wars in Australia.
The records of internees are diverse, often not in English, and from all parts
of the country. They reflect the skills of the internees as well as their ordinary
day to day needs, such as setting up cafés and barber shops. His collection
includes rare camp newspapers, postcards, artworks and linguistic aids.
