Primary Sources: World War I

Photographs from World War I on a flicker account that is part of The Great War Archive from Oxford University.

"Nearly 400 images reproducing two amateur albums of drawings and photographs by Americans serving in France; a series of German photographic postcards; and a French automaker's published album."

"This collection makes available online approximately 1,900 posters created between 1914 and 1920. Most relate directly to the war, but some German posters date from the post-war period and illustrate events such as the rise of Bolshevism and Communism, the 1919 General Assembly election and various plebiscites. During World War I, the impact of the poster as a means of communication was greater than at any other time during history. The ability of posters to inspire, inform, and persuade combined with vibrant design trends in many of the participating countries to produce thousands of interesting visual works."

"The Gray postcard site features a collection of war-themed cards produced in Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Russia, and the U.S. during World War One (1914-1918). More than 6,400 cards will eventually be displayed in a CONTENTdm collection. These will be searchable and browsable by different categories. The cards were collected as mementos of a world at war during the second decade of the 20th century. "
