Mapping the Centenary is a free digital portal containing information about projects and activities that marked the First World War Centenary from 2014 – 2019. We invite organisations and individuals to tell us about their activity - from websites to events, to learning resources and historical research – to help us to understand how the centenary was marked. We are creating a searchable database, link to project websites where applicable, and provide guidance on archiving and digital preservation. Mapping the Centenary is developed with the kind support of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
