From the University of Oxford comes the First World War Poetry Collection, a collection of archival material and educational resources centering on the works of poets who served in World War I. Visitor may browse this collection by poet - the collection includes works by Vera Brittain, Robert Graves, Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon, and others. On the individual homepage for each poet, visitors can read a biography and explore a summary of archival material available about each poet. Alternatively, visitors may conduct a text search of archived items via a search box on the top left hand corner of the page. This collection includes photographs, letters, manuscripts, diaries, and more. Visitors are also invited to explore archives by category: Photographic Collection, Film Collection, Audio Collection, and Publications of War. Many of the materials are available courtesy of the Imperial War Museum Photographic Archive, and, collectively, they provide context to the War that may especially be of interest to those who want to incorporate this collection into a history or English classroom. Educators can also check out additional resources via the Education tab.
