September 2009 is the 70th Anniversary of the start of World War Two.
Intute.ac.uk has put together a number of useful sites to commemorate the occasion. Sites include news stories and film clips.
History Study Centre's theme for the month of September also looks at World War Two . (Access only on campus or via off-campus login)
The UK National Archives has created a series of 6 webcasts discussing popular WWII feature films, showing how the collections of the National Archives could be used to find out more information about war time experiences on the battlefield and the Home Front. The films chosen include Hope and Glory and the Great Escape. Each film has a webcast, podcast and associated research notes on how to find related materials in the National Archives. Some include links to online government Cabinet papers from the time. Technical and copyright information is provided on the website. (from Intute.ac.uk)
