ANYONE with items from the First World War such as diaries, photos, posters and notebooks, can get them scanned as part of a Europe-wide project to digitise such memorabilia.
Called La Grande Collecte , the project is the French part of Europeana 1914-1918, which will be digitising and uploading material about the war from across the continent in connection with
the centenary next year.
From tomorrow (Saturday) until Saturday November 15, collection points across France will be open for people to call in and have their family archive material scanned.
The aim is to preserve such items and create a better picture of the period, complementing such sources as press articles from the time, books and public archives.
The exercise is being organised in France by the interministerial Archives de France service, the Bibilothèque Nationale de France and the Mission du Centenaire (a body overseeing
commemorations of the war).
