Oxford At War

About the Project

Oxford at War 1914-1918 was a project to assemble material related to Oxford (University and City) during the period of the First World War. It ran during the centenary of the First World War 2014-2018. It is now no longer open to submissions. Oxford at War 1914-1918 was based at the University of Oxford. It was part of the Oxford World War I Centenary Programme with support from the van Houten Bequest.

This was a community collection bringing together stories, pictures and objects related to Oxford during the period of the First World War. Anyone with relevant material was welcome to upload and share it. The material in the collection was shared by members of the public, University departments, colleges, clubs and societies, and others. The information about the material was provided by the contributor who was responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information. The material is made available under different licences.
