HIST 0196: The First World War & Its Legacy

La Grande Collecte is France's National Archives initiative to harvest documents and images held by individuals and families. The first stage was focused on World War I memorabilia. Now, "France’s National Archives have invited people in some 100 cities nationwide to donate memorabilia - such as letters, photos and notebooks - linked to France's role in West Africa in the 19th and 20th century.... More than 350,000 documents were digitalised as a result and can now be consulted on their website. ... it is definitely about providing an African perspective and as such they're keen to work with archivists on the African continent."
