The project

In 2018 C2DH conceived the project "Éischte Weltkrich: Remembering the Great War in Luxembourg". The aim of the project is to recall an important but neglected historical period of the country. With the support of the Ministry of State and the collections of the major Luxembourg museums, archives and cultural institutions, the project has gradually expanded and deepened its purpose, becoming an engaging digital resource.
