Welcome to the Newcastle City Council's collections live search page.

The Newcastle Regional Museum is committed to the presentation and preservation of social & community history, science and the natural environment. The Museum tells the stories of both ordinary and extraordinary Newcastle.

We preserve and display our collection of some 10,000 social, Indigenous, technological and natural history objects, which covers the broad spectrum of Newcastle's story.

The Newcastle Regional Museum is responsible for the Museum Collection, Digger's Database and the Sporting Hall of Fame Database.

Diggers Database

The Diggers Database is a fascinating listing of the war service records of Hunter men and women who served in World War One.

From here you can search for your great-grandmother's war nursing record or discover how many miners enlisted from your suburb.

Indigenous Australians are advised that the Diggers Database may include images or names of people now deceased.
