The East Sussex WW1 project is now in its third year and continues to expand its rich collection of information and resources.—East Sussex Library and Information Service, February 2017 Newslatter
East Sussex Library and Information Service, alongside other local organisations, has contributed to the project, coordinated by East Sussex County Council.
The WW1 project has now digitised every edition of the Eastbourne Gazette, Eastbourne Chronicle, Hastings and St Leonards Observer, Hastings and St Leonards Pictorial Advertiser, and the Sussex Daily News for the First World War period. This fantastic collection is being released on the project’s website each month to correspond with the same month 100 years ago.
Alongside over 130 stories relating to East Sussex during the war, the website also hosts a number of educational resources to assist both teachers and school students learning about the conflict. Existing resources focus on soldiers, women, whilst new resources on places and empire were added to the website at the beginning of February. Check out the website and learn a little bit more about WW1 in East Sussex.
