Views of Antique Land: Images of Egypt and Palestine in World War One

Steve Mills, Paul T. Nicholson and Hilary Rees (Cardiff University)

Views of an Antique Land is a HLF funded project which seeks to collect images of Egypt and Palestine taken during the First World War.  All of the images are collected ‘virtually’ by scanning or re-photographing them and are collected from donors at a series of interactive Roadshows held at Museums as well as by submission on-line.

The aim is to provide a web resource where descendants of those who served in the conflict can gain a better understanding of the visual landscape seen by their ancestors and to help them better understand the value of their family collections and those of others.
