IWM Collections Highlights
|
We are thrilled to be re-opening to the public this month.
The media sales & licensing team are continuing to work remotely and will keep you informed as soon as we are resuming our bespoke print and HD clip service.
IWM is a leading authority on conflict and its impact, focusing on Britain, its former Empire and the Commonwealth, from the First World War to the present.
Many items in our collections are accessible for commercial projects via IWM Collections and IWM Film, our dedicated film website.
View our highlights below and contact us for licensing enquiries. It is recommended you use the filter on our website to select digitised media for time-sensitive orders as we cannot guarantee deadlines for new digitisation requests.
