Digital War Memorial

Digital War Memorial

Over the last year I have been working as Curator of the Digital War Memorial for the Society of Chief Librarians.

The Digital War Memorial brings together communities and artists across the UK to make unique creative responses to the First World War Centenary. Using the rich resources of local libraries and archives as the starting point, these  new artworks tell the diverse stories of how the First World War touched people’s  lives and how it is remembered today.

Across the course of this work I have worked with a number of talented artists, supported and encouraged the use of creative digital technologies and worked with the amazing team behind Historypin to produce the Digital War Memorial online platform.
