This exhibition is based on a UC Summer Scholarship project co-supervised by the History Department and the Macmillan Brown Library, 2011-12. Postgraduate student Gregory Hynes investigated a collection of over 200 First World War photographs, donated to the library by the Canterbury Branch of the Victoria League of New Zealand. It documents the research process, history of the collection, and also provides a visual introduction to its hundreds of fascinating images of the British Empire at war.

There are no known copyright restrictions with these photographs. To obtain copies of the images please contact the Macmillan Brown Library.
