Banner image from Century America website. See Page 2 for full image citation.

This website is a collective digital history project that documents the experiences during the Great War (World War I) at 15 individual colleges and universities from 1914 to 1919. It works to show the impact that this war had on the various schools and their surrounding town and community. This site includes several interactive tools such as a map of important sites on the homepage and a timeline representing the development of the schools across the United States.

This site was restored by a 2022 ADH student. You can read about the restoration process here.
