First World War Artifacts: An Archival Perspective

The Archives and Special Collections Division of the Queen Elizabeth II Library maintains and provides access to a wide range of archival and special collections material. The lecture will show how Archives and Special Collections, with help from Memorial’s WW100 Committee processed, documented and preserved these materials for accessibility to any Internet user via the library’s website and digital archive.
