The online resource, ‘First World War: Sources for History’, compliments the Archives’ collection of documents relating to the Great War.
Taken from the website, the following explains what the archives offer:
“This exhibition makes available an online selection of unique and richly varied source material on the First World War, set in its historical context. It provides resources for a wide variety of adult learners in the field of modern history. Whether you are pursuing an interest in family or military history, studying history formally, looking for research resources, or generally interested in discovering more about what the British writer H G Wells called ‘the war that will end war’, the exhibition offers something for you.
The exhibition draws on historical documents, film and sound available in Britain’s National Archives and one of its leading museums.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.”
