The Everyday Lives in War Centre was based at the University of Hertfordshire, in collaboration with the Universities of Essex, Northampton, Lincoln, Central Lancashire and West of England. Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, it was one of five First World War engagement centres that built connections between university and community researchers across the First World War centenary. We worked closely with the Heritage Lottery Fund to support First World War projects. This website is a record of some of the vibrant community research that took place across the UK 2014-2019: we hope that it will offer a starting point and inspiration for future researchers.
