New website features!

Check out the new navigation bar on the website!  (It's just below the title.)  Now you can access resources more easily when you visit this site.  The upcoming events schedule and other informational sections each have their own links.

The website also features a new bibliography with suggestions for further reading on a variety of World War 1 topics, and an online resource listing too.  Both sections will continue to be updated as new resources and books are published.

Missouri Over There

Another excellent resource organized by the Missouri State Library is the new blog Missouri Over There: Exploring Missouri's Role in WWI.  This blog is part of a larger project to digitize materials related to World War I and it features individuals, units, and stories with Missouri connections.  The blog is searchable and provides an excellent resource for students and teachers to find local connections to the Great War.

Willy-Nicky Correspondence

During our first talk on the origins of the war, our panelists mentioned the "Willy-Nicky Correspondence," a series of letters and telegrams between Wilhelm II of Germany and Nicholas II of Russia exchanged just prior to World War I.  The letters are available online through the Brigham Young University World War I Document Archive and provide additional insight into the politics of Europe on the brink of war.
