The Great War Archive - needs your help!

The Great War Archive project is a nationwide initiative to gather together and preserve, in digital form, everyday memorabilia that reflect the experience of soldiers on the front line and those on the Home Front alike. These will then be made into digital versions freely available on the Web for teaching and research in schools, colleges and universities, both in the UK and worldwide.

The project is led by Oxford University's Faculty of English and Oxford University Computing Services, and is part of a larger project to create an online collection of the manuscripts of leading First World War poets: The First World War Poetry Digital Archive. The archive will be launched on the Web on 11th November 2008, the ninetieth anniversary of the Armistice. The Great War Archive web site will be open to receive your contributions from 3rd March 2008 to 31st May 2008. Here you will be asked to upload your files, or type in your story or transcript and asked for some information about the item to help us catalogue it. You will also be required to agree to our conditions of submission: that is, you allow your material to be made freely available on the Web for anyone to use for educational purposes.
