National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) - Military Records - World War I
The US National Archives has created a portal to highly varied collection of WWI-related primary materials: from film to sound recordings, to draft cards, to agricultural pamphlets, to poster and art, as well as military records.
Small but amazing in the sheer number of audio recordings (mostly musical numbers) from the World War I period, this archive can be searched using the standard LCSH heading "World War, 1914-1918" as well as additional keywords such as names of dedicatees, performers, and places.
World War One (British Library) - this curated presentation of British materials in the Europeana 1914-1918 collection (see the Primary sources TAB of this LibGuide) includes original documents along with commentary, explanatory essays and interviewsabout them with leading historians and social scientists.
