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:

Thank you Geni, that;s really useful. I will take a closer look at those examples.
With regards,
Stevie
