We’re a research platform that optimizes your study of the World Wars. Virtually interact with documents, letters, diaries, photographs, and other objects from archival collections across the globe — whenever and wherever you want.
We believe in greater accessibility of primary source material to encourage the research, education, and commemoration of the World Wars.
Millions of wartime primary source documents exist in the vaults of museums, archives, and special collections around the world… but obstacles like travel costs, distance, and time often prevent researchers from accessing them. We understand. Project Archive was founded by historians who have experienced firsthand the challenges of conducting in-person primary source research. So we designed a platform that not only makes it easier to access archival material, but revolutionizes the way you interact with it.
Project Archive’s unique interface lets users view, annotate, organize, and store primary sources indefinitely; and discover new material through AI-assisted file suggestions.
And when you’re finished? Project Archive auto-generates a bibliography of the sources referenced in your research.
Reimagining the traditional approach to studying military history

By connecting institutions with more people in the scholarly community, we help generate additional streams of revenue for the preservation, maintenance, and expansion of archival collections around the world. Each time a document gets viewed or used in Project Archive’s database, we share a portion of the revenue with the institution who owns it.
