Telling the stories behind World War One

Universities have a central role to play in commemoration of World War One. Not only are they carrying out cutting-edge research on the story of the war, they are also often sites of memorials to those who died.

The Goldsmiths World War One web pages contain information on how Goldsmiths staff and students are engaging with commemoration of the war.

These pages will also list events related to the centenary of 1914-18 and explore how we are working with local communities as they engaged in stories of the war.
