It was launched in 2017 after a successful crowdfunding campaign. With additional funding from the\u00a0National Lottery Heritage Fund, the project\u00a0was\u00a0then extended to run until June 2019, jointly led by\u00a0the University of Oxford and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.<\/p>\n<p>The project has initiated and supported a large number of collection events. The main focus has been to engage and support community groups and schools, allowing them to run their own events. The project has created documentation and guides, provided training and been available to offer advice and answer questions, but it is the local groups who have\u00a0planned and run the events and collected the material. Digitised objects and stories have been uploaded to a shared platform, hosted by the University of Oxford. The project has brought together several hundreds of contributions, many featuring large number of digital images of letters, photos, objects and more. The archive can be accessed for free and the material can be viewed and used.\u00a0All the collected material\u00a0will also be deposited with Europeana, to form part of the large, international collection hosted there.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2311\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lwf.it.ox.ac.uk\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2311\" class=\"wp-image-2311 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs-new.it.ox.ac.uk\/runcoco\/files\/2019\/06\/LWF-1024x394.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs-new.it.ox.ac.uk\/runcoco\/files\/2019\/06\/LWF-1024x394.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs-new.it.ox.ac.uk\/runcoco\/files\/2019\/06\/LWF-300x115.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs-new.it.ox.ac.uk\/runcoco\/files\/2019\/06\/LWF-768x296.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs-new.it.ox.ac.uk\/runcoco\/files\/2019\/06\/LWF.png 1824w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2311\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Some examples of the stories and objects you can find in the collection &#8211; all available online at <a href=\"http:\/\/lwf.it.ox.ac.uk\/\">http:\/\/lwf.it.ox.ac.uk\/<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>To learn more about Lest We Forget, please follow the links listed here:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lwf.web.ox.ac.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lest We Forget website<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/lwf.it.ox.ac.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Online archive<\/a> &#8211; collected objects and stories<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lwf.web.ox.ac.uk\/files\/digitalcollectiondaytrainingpackwithformspdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Digital Collection Day training pack<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lwf.web.ox.ac.uk\/events#past-events-807786\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">List of events<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/europeana1914-1918.eu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Europeana 1914-1918<\/a> &#8211; large, international archive of objects and stories<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lest We Forget is a\u00a0University of Oxford initiative working with schools and community groups who want to run their own community collection events, digitising and sharing WW1 memorabilia and stories.
