The NSW War Memorials Register is a database of war memorials in New South Wales. It currently holds more than 3,000 war memorial records, and more than 200,000 veteran records. The Register enables communities to record accurate information about war memorials, provides best practice information about war memorial conservation, and connects memorials and veterans to sustain NSW military and commemorative history.
The NSW Government is committed to documenting each memorial and veteran with care and respect. This can only be accomplished with contributions from local communities, local councils, RSL sub-Branches, schools and our sponsors. Anyone can contribute to the Register and we encourage you to read more about how you can add or update records.

The NSW War Memorials Register was launched by the Premier and the President of the Returned and Services League of New South Wales (RSL NSW) on 22 April 2002, as a joint initiative.
The NSW War Memorials Register relies on community contribution to gather its content. The majority of the content published on the Register has been contributed by members of the public and other community organisations. While processes are in place to moderate and publish well-researched and factually accurate information to the best of our ability, the Register Team cannot always guarantee the accuracy and currency of content on this website. The Register aims to document memorials in their current state and we cannot comprehensively capture all changes to a memorial over time, or provide information about all historic versions of a memorial prior to a refurbishment or redesign. Furthermore, the Register does not include a comprehensive record of previous inscriptions, plaques, or lists of veterans previously inscribed on a memorial.
