About

The project, Aberystwyth at War: Experience, Impact, Legacy, 1914-1919, ran from May 2018 to November 2019. It explored the impact of the First World War on the people and communities of Aberystwyth through the collaborative efforts of volunteers, local archives, the university, local history societies, schools, and performance and arts groups. These groups engaged with wartime records, letters, newspapers, photographs, music, war memorials and personal histories held at our partner organizations the National Library of Wales, Ceredigion Archives and Ceredigion Museum, as well as at the Aberystwyth University Library and public places in the area. Over the course of the project, more than 70 students and local volunteers captured and interpreted these community histories in activities, displays, exhibitions, performance and accessible online resources.
