[Collection of Second World War ephemeral material from the Gold Coast (now Ghana) : includes official material, campaign literature and theatre programmes]

When protesters in Bristol pulled down a prominent statue of slave trader Edward Colston as part of the Black Lives Matter protests against the killing of George Floyd, it prompted a nationwide debate. How should we memorialise controversial aspects of our past? Watch a live debate on this topic, part of the IWM Institute's Hindsight in 2020 series.

Taking our collection beyond the walls of our museum, schools can book specially created loan box experiences inspired by the Second World War.
