Covering the period from 1911 to the mid-1960s, the archive includes photographs of Churchill from all aspects of his life including his days in the military, the highs and lows of his political career, family pictures, his fondness for animals and even boyhood portraits.
A museum spokesman said; `The prime minister stands defiant, cigar clenched between his teeth, fingers raised in a victory salute.
`As well as some fantastic images of his funeral, there are unusual images of Churchill feeding the albino kangaroo given to him as a gift by the Stockowner`s Association of South Australia, the first image of Churchill (looking battered and bruised) after his car crash in 1931 and an image of him as a six-year-old boy.`
