Behind the lines – Personal stories of the First World War

Explore Scotland’s story of the 1914-1918 war through the experiences of individual Scots. This major exhibition at the National Library runs until 11 November 2014.  Letters, diaries, sketches and photographs offer a direct link to Scots who lived and died in the Great War.  A link to the National Library of Scotland is available on CurricuLinks under the Art Galleries | Museums | Libraries section.

The National Records of Scotland (NRS) has launched its 2014-15 programme of free workshops and web conferencing sessions for primary and secondary schools.

This year’s programme includes workshops which may be of interest to teachers planning learning that focuses on the Commonwealth Games, the Year of Homecoming 2014, or the First World War.

Full details of the Schools Programme are available on the NRS education site.  This link is also available on the Art Galleries | Museums | Libraries section of CurricuLinks.
