I'm not sure if there's anything new here, but it's got to be worth posting?

International Encyclopedia of the First World War

Project Overview

Over the course of three years, the international joint research project "1914-1918-online. International Encyclopedia of the First World War” is developing an English-language virtual reference work on the First World War. Planned to be released in 2014, the centenary of the outbreak of World War I, the online encyclopedia will be the result of an international collaborative project to make available a multi-perspective, public-access knowledge base on the First World War.

Institutional background

The project board and project management are located at Freie Universität Berlin (Germany). Project leaders are Prof. Dr. Oliver Janz, historian at the Friedrich-Meinecke-Institut of Freie Universität Berlin, and Prof. Dr. Nicolas Apostolopoulos, director of the Center for Digital Systems (CeDiS), also at Freie Universität Berlin. The third institution involved in administrating this project is the Bavarian State Library (Munich). Important contributors are also the German Historical Insitutes in Paris, Warsaw and Moscow. Renowned international experts in historical scholarship will write the articles for the encyclopedia. The Editorial Board, made up of around 40 well-known historians from 16 countries, will be responsible for the assessment and quality management of the contributions. Under the programme "Scientific Library and Information Systems", the German Research Foundation (DFG) is supporting the project with a grant of around 1 million Euros.
