The War Poets Collection for Educational Use

The exhibition conserves these materials, preserving the memories and encouraging you to consider the impact of the past on both the present and the future.

In order to develop the educational opportunities of the War Poets Collection and the themes of the exhibition, we have produced complementary educational materials for school pupils of the 5–14 Environmental Studies Social Studies curriculum, and students at National 4 and 5 and Intermediate-2 and Higher level.

These resources offer additional information and interpretation on the exhibition, the war poets, the history of Craiglockhart campus, the effects of the First World War on the soldiers, and the effects of war on society in general.
