Hello everyone,
I've been asked to speak at an event next week and one of the topics will
be explaining how releasing content under open licences via Wikimedia
projects increases audiences for cultural institutions.
We have lots of those, of course, but one of the themes is the First World
War. Does anyone know of any digitisation projects related to the conflict
that I might point to as examples?
Thank you for any help!
Stevie

A fair bit of the Bundesarchiv was WW1. Thats why our articles on British
WW1 tanks tend to feature ones that have been captured by German forces.

Otherwise I'd suggest asking if the Operation Majestic Titan people know of
any examples:
