The Mental Health Museum Collection of Historical Images was a collection held by the Mental Health Museum WA Inc. It included digitised copies of images from 1900 to 1984. The images show Western Australian hospitals, hostels and Homes for children and adults with intellectual, physical or mental health disabilities. The collection also included examples of admission forms and other documents associated with mental health and intellectual disability in the State. In 2022, the Find & Connect web resource was advised that the museum no longer existed and that the collection had been dispersed.
