  1. Talking about ordinary: take this old army trunk. Nothing special at first sight. But the story that comes with it is just the perfect screenplay that would make a great movie… Slovenia: Mihael Drascek – Revolution, marriage and a tale of two wars (Blacksmith who joins the Austria-Hungarian army, is captured and fights in the October Revolution. Captured again, he is rescued by a woman who says they are to wed)

  4. Europeana 1914-1918’s collection includes everything from letters to medals, trench art pieces and uniforms, and even a postcard from the young Adolf Hitler about his dental treatment in 1916. Fascinating as this is, it may reasonably be asked what use or meaning such an eclectic ‘collection’ actually has. Analysis is as yet in its earliest stages, nevertheless it is already clear both from the material, and from the contributors, that Europeana 1914-1918 has more than one form of ‘value’. Perhaps most obviously, ephemeral documents, if not already housed in permanent public collections, are at risk from loss or casual destruction. Photographing and adding to a public database may not guarantee preservation of the actual artefact, but it does maintain a useful record of content and physical appearance. It also brings accessibility. Some contributors decide, as a result of participation, to donate originals to a museum. It is good to be able to report that as a result of the Europeana 1914-1918 project the collection of mail (figure 14 below) is actually being donated to the archive where the roadshow was held, so the originals will be preserved and available to researchers whilst images are more widely accessible on the internet. This is clearly a two-way process, for not only have collections gained new material, but the public has gained new insights into their libraries and archives. Some of the visitors to the roadshows were not regular museum users, nor familiar with the various forms of research and technology involved. Introduction to these things through dedicated staff and a subject of interest (family history or the First World War) has benefits to both the new user and to the museums and libraries that may thereby widen their public image and user base. In this sense the Europeana 1914-1918 project serves as a friendly face for many institutions. In many ways the purest and clearest ‘value’ is the historical research potential of the new seam of artefacts and data that Europeana 1914-1918 represents. As yet barely touched, the avenues of investigation that might be considered are potentially hugely diverse and greater still when one bears in mind that this may extend across Europe. New material is of course grist to the academic research mill, and whilst the collection holds many familiar types of artefact, this is arguably the first time that such a collection has been formed through pieces that the public have chosen to preserve, and wish to preserve for the future. What is here has not been selected or weeded to meet a pre-planned museum agenda, and in this sense is genuine raw material. A few of the potential research areas might include patriotism, and propaganda. The rather random large ‘snapshot’ that is Europeana 1914-1918 provides not only a mass of new data, but possibly a more neutral measure against which to test existing theories and assumptions as well as to suggest new possibilities. In Europeana 1914-1918 we now have a collection that covers many units and most states, not compiled by censors or by army or governments. For research, the social historical element may be the strongest, but there are many sidelights to political, military, and economic history. Not all ‘education’ is research and great libraries. In the Europeana 1914-1918 collection can be found the raw material of school projects, essays, enlightened browsing, and informative relaxation. The pictures are often bold and interesting. Teachers can take and use them at all educational levels and carefully selected have something to say to both adults and children. From autumn 2012 a pilot project in the UK, with Lancashire Schools and Museums and the Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum and Banbury High School, will seek to explore and exploit the collection in a more structured way with: 􀀀 schools; 􀀀 families of serving soldiers’ 􀀀 reminiscence in care homes and day centres for the elderly. Perhaps unexpectedly, it is also becoming obvious that contributors to Europeana 1914-1918 are themselves using it in new ways. Some upload material as part of genealogical study, or a way to make their family history accessible to others without parting with the original document or object. Others, perhaps the children or grandchildren of the people who feature in the material, are using the collection as a memorial, a retrospective online ‘in memoriam’ of those who died in the war, or after. The strength of feeling shines through when interviewing these contributors during roadshows. Apart from being an example of use of the archive as a form of public memorial it is worth noting that for some countries, e.g. Germany, war graves are not all well recorded and that the information here may well prove of use to genealogists. Finally it can be argued that the image of Europe in the press and media is not always positive. The man or woman on the street appears more likely to remember news of some new rule or problem, rather than the fact that European funding financed a new bridge or highway, for example. A British pilot project (the Oxford Community Collection model as tested in The Great War Archive, 200823) has become European (Europeana 1914-1918), covers Europe, and gives something back to European citizens who support it. Europeana 1914-1918 engages on a very personal level showing an interest or value in the culture, memories of the individual and his family and neighbours. It also compliments the digitisation of existing public 1914-1918 collections. In this way Europeana is itself becoming a valuable part of centenary commemorations.
