 * The Great War Archive, was a 2008 project led by the University of Oxford that asked members of the general public to digitise any artefacts they held relating to the First World War and upload them to a purpose built website. The project successfully released over 6500 items and stories online which can be freely downloaded and used for education and research. The project was funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee. In 2011, the team at the University of Oxford received further funding from Europeana to run a similar crowdsourcing initiative in Germany. From 2012 Europeana extended this to become a project called Europeana 1914-1918. Europeana 1914-1918 is a collaboration led by Europeana with support from the team at the University of Oxford. There is a website where the project encourages the public from all European Union states to contribute information about World War I, especially their family's stories and digitised photographs of their artefacts.
