The First World War: online documents & analysis

Recommended by THF.

The National Archives | Exhibitions & Learning online

The sources for the First World War held by The National Archives and the Imperial War Museum offer richly varied insights into all aspects of The First World War. This exhibition draws on historical documents, film and sound available in Britain's National Archives and one of its leading museums. It starts from, but is not limited to, a British perspective on the war, and also aims to create a wider understanding of the global nature of the conflict and the profound consequences that resulted from it - consequences which, in areas such as the Balkans and Palestine, are still being felt today. The galleries also offer pointers to further research and reading.

If you've been on a school trip or holiday and recorded anything historical, please go to The History Faculty's group page on Flikr (http://www.flickr.com/groups/historyfaculty/) and upload away! Please don't forget to tell us what the pictures are of, and, if you know what geotagging is, please geotag them (this is not compulsory). Let's see how large a record we can create...
