Events, research projects and commemorative ceremonies will be taking place between 2014 and 2018, marking the 100th anniversary of the First World War, and many of them have dedicated websites.
We have collected together many links to start us off, but do let us know about any others as they come online during the next four years. Please leave any suggestions in the Comments boxes at the bottom of this page for us to add them. If links are posted elsewhere in the forum they may not be added.
N.B. Unless a site is difficult to navigate, we only add the home page of any sites with collections of links so we may already have the link you want to tell us about.
As an international forum, we welcome contributions from and about every nation.
