This project honours the memories and experiences of those who served in the Army in ‘The War to End all Wars’, their families and their communities. The museums from which these archives have been mustered have rich collections of artefacts ready for you to examine.”  

“I’m always delighted to start working with a new customer, but AMOT is truly a remarkable organisation. Preserving our British history is of national significance, and it’s a privilege to turn previously inaccessible military material into a visible portal for the public countrywide. We hope to continue helping them grow their digital library, and making content accessible for generations to come.” Charlie Horrell, CEO, Imagen
