Imperial War Museums

IWM’s unique collections covers all aspects of conflicts in which British, Commonwealth or former Empire countries have been involved since the start of the twentieth century.

Comprising more than 11 million photographs, the collection is notable for works of art from the British government war art schemes and a constantly growing film and sound archive, 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.

IWM has a team of experienced film curators who offer assistance to commercial researchers. Registered users of IWM Film can save collections, create clips and request notifications when newly digitised IWM films are uploaded that fit their search criteria.
