Notes

Part 6 of the BOA series, 'People & Protest in Britain and Abroad, 1800-2000'. Until now, telling the stories of Conscientious Objectors (COs) or creating a reliable picture of the anti-war movement in Britain during the First World War, has been a tortuous matter of assembling fragments of evidence from a variety of sources scattered across the country. The range and variety of the evidence is extensive but with this collection of digitised sources, a good start has been made to make a great deal of it much more accessible. With this collection it should now be possible for a more comprehensive story to be told of those men and women in Britain who opposed the First World War, of the actions they took and the personal struggles they had with their own consciences and with the authorities. The records herein have been collectively drawn from Hull University Archives, the Working Class Movement Library, Salford, and the library of the Religious Society of Friends, London.
