How a global network of volunteers preserved the history of the First World War
In short: Between 2015 and 2019, an international team of remote volunteers supported the Imperial War Museums by managing administrative tasks and public inquiries from their own homes. This six-minute film highlights their spirit of virtual collaboration across borders, from the UK to Singapore.
The project relied on a distributed network of contributors spanning countries including Spain, Canada, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. These volunteers bonded through a shared passion for documenting the lives of those who experienced the First World War.
By working remotely, these individuals provided essential support to the museum's operations, demonstrating how digital collaboration can unite people globally to preserve historical records.
