University of Hertfordshire’s First World War Engagement Centre
The University of Hertfordshire is also a specialist centre supporting research into everyday life on the home front during World War One, an area sometimes overlooked in favour of a focus on the experience of soldiers overseas. They support and can fund collaborative projects between academics and community history groups. They also host a range of events and workshops exploring their research themes.

East Anglian Film Archive
The East Anglian Film Archive contains thousands of hours of moving image material on different formats. The film and video which date back to 1896, are mainly non-fiction material, such as advertising films, corporate videos, documentaries, family and personal films, home movies, local newsreels and television news, publicity films, educational material, travelogues, and films by civic bodies and regional organisations.
Subjects that are particularly well represented in the collections include images of workers, communities, agriculture and fishing, industry, transport, the effects of the weather, popular culture, holidays, personal history and family life. Sound tracks often provide a record of local speech patterns, accent and dialect and period music.
