The First World War Centenary of 2014-2018 was a defining period of public engagement in the United Kingdom. Capturing Commemoration provides the first dedicated examination of this period and the activities that marked it. Collaboratively written by leading experts in the field, this study explores how the Centenary was marked as both a national and a transnational commemoration, how it defined national identity, as well as how it was transmitted within museum exhibitions, digital spaces, and amongst younger generations. In doing so, this volume reflects on the ‘collaborative turn’ taking place within public history, and its implications for cooperation between the academy and the public.

“[This book] provides insight and analysis of the centenary of the First World War in Britain. It assesses in detail the way in which opinions in the sphere of politics, media, heritage and within the public converged to shape how the centenary was perceived and significantly felt, and is distinctive in its offer of scale in its assessment.” • Ross Wilson, University of Nottingham“Given the importance of the First World War Centenary in terms of the numbers of British people who engaged with it, and the funds invested in it by the UK government, charities and other organisations, this is a welcome and timely study, which is well written and well-evidenced.” • Alison Fell, University of Liverpool
