The War and Conflict SSN is a partnership programme led by Imperial War Museums, to build capacity, connections and confidence in the cultural heritage sector. Our aim is to share knowledge and skills amongst the many organisations and groups across the UK and further afield, who cover our subject matter in their work.
The SSN mirrors the remit of Imperial War Museums, namely, war and conflict since the First World War. This is divided into 4 key time periods:
- First World War and early 20th Century (1914 - 1929)
- Second World War and mid-20th Century (1929 - 1949)
- Cold War and late-20th Century (1949 - 2000)
- Contemporary conflict 21st century (2001 - present)
The SSN is open to those who work for or with not-for-profit organisations across the world. We welcome members from all different types of museums and galleries, community organisations, national and local government, heritage institutions, performing arts groups, and from the education sector.
