Collecting militaria, also known as military memorabilia: military equipment and material gathered for its historical significance rather than for present-day use. Militaria collecting spans uniforms, insignia, weapons, field gear and documents from particular conflicts, units or eras, and sits alongside phaleristics as one of the ways collectors engage directly with military history through the physical objects that carried it.
