Resources: The Serving Soldier

"The Serving Soldier Collection Library contains themed selections of photographs and other archives drawn from up to fifty of the eight hundred or so personal paper collections held by the Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives at King's College London which have been selected for digitisation as part of the Serving Soldier project - a rich and and varied body of archive material that illuminates the colourful and eclectic careers of servicemen from the 1880s until 1945.
Collection Library material includes personal diaries, correspondence, photograph albums, detailed reports and memoranda, maps, posters and oral histories exploring war, peace, diplomacy and casting light on the many alternative careers pursued by servicemen - for example as explorers, inventors, writers and artists.
Among the many themed collections are snapshots of daily life in the British Empire, examples of sometimes shocking photography of the ill-fated Gallipoli Campaign during the Great War, and details of the often complex British involvement in the troubled North West Frontier region and Afghanistan."

Database: European Register of Microform and Digital Masters (EROMM)

"EROMM is a consortium of libraries and library networks. The founding agreement dates back to 1994. The first group of four libraries, which had cooperated since 1990 in the second only of European Union library projects, resolved to run the register of preservation surrogates as a permanent service. Since then, EROMM has evolved from a register recording microform masters into a database recording any printed or hand-written item available in surrogate, be it on microfilm or in digital form."
