The IWM’s ‘Their Past – Your Future’ Website

The Imperial War Museum’s Their Past – Your Future website is a rich resource for learning and teaching about twentieth-century conflict. The Learning Resources feature historical enquiries, themed source packs and fascinating personal stories. These resources directly support the SHP principles of connecting the past to students’ lives, engaging them in the process of historical enquiry and understanding the diverse experiences of people in the past.

A strong feature of the site is the itineraries section. This provides practical guidance on planning visits to sites as well as background notes written by IWM experts. The itineraries are a great resource to support SHP’s commitment to leaning in the historic environment.
