About Us

IWM (Imperial War Museums) tells the story of people who have lived, fought and died in conflicts involving Britain and the Commonwealth since 1914. Using our unique collections, made up of the everyday and exceptional, we tell vivid personal stories and create powerful physical experiences across our five museums that reflect the realities of war as both a destructive and creative human force.

Our Collections include works of art and posters, film and video, photographs, oral history recordings, objects ranging from aircraft to toy bears, a huge range of documents, maps, diaries and letters, and a national reference library. Search the Collections online at www.iwmcollections.org.uk.

Film and Video Archive

The film and video archive contains over 23,000 hours of moving images, representing a wide and diverse range of material from public and service information films, documentaries and unedited combat film, through to official newsreels and amateur films.
