We are a national resource on the history of Australian midwifery and the Australian College of Midwives
We promote an appreciation and understanding of midwifery & childbirth history to the profession and public
Our primary goal is to preserve, protect & promote the history of midwifery in Australia
We make our professional history & our history research VISIBLE, SHARABLE, ACCESSIBLE by identifing relevant archive materials, and promote their preservation & accessibility through the production of online resources such as
- a website to act as a central repository to scaffold and map resources
- an online digital collection for displaying objects & artefacts, and
- an online library and research database
We provide a supportive network for those working on the history of midwifery & childbirth in Australia & develop appropriate interdisciplinary links, by creating & holding a space where we share knowledge, information, and resources
