National and State Libraries Australasia: Commemorating WWI and the ANZAC Centenary 1914-1918
Between 2014 and 2018 libraries in Australia and New Zealand will commemorate the breadth and extent of this terrible conflict and reflect upon the service and sacrifice of all who served. Libraries began documenting the war right from its beginning: in newspapers, books, letters, diaries, photographs, poems, maps, ephemera, posters and oral histories. The story of the war - so much larger than a recount of military activity - simply cannot be told without reference to these collections. Over the next four years libraries will be digitising, compiling and curating these collections into easily accessible online resources which you can find on your State or Territory and National library's website.
