IWM Digital Resource for Volunteers
IWM Digital Resource for Volunteers An Interactive Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by: Linda Baker Shintaro Clanton Andrew Gregory Rachel Plante Project advisors: VJ Manzo Jianyu Liang June 23, 2016 This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. ABSTRACT The Interaction Volunteers at Imperial War Museums London engage with visitors in the exhibits and discuss about certain artifacts. The communication of information among the Interaction Volunteer team, however, has been inefficient as the system relied on paper resources. Our IQP team surveyed volunteers and conducted a focus group to gather input about layout and features for a potential digital resource which the Interaction Volunteers could use in management of artifactual content and digital forms. This information was then used to design a website utilizing a content management system in order to make the communication of information more simple and efficient for the Interaction Volunteer team. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Our team would like to thank our advisors, Professors V.J. Manzo and Jianyu Liang, for their continued support and guidance in completing this project. We would especially like to thank Mr. Grant Rogers, Informal Learning and Engagement Manager at Imperial War Museums London, for sponsoring and providing insight for our project and for sharing his enthusiasm for the museum. In addition, we would like to extend our gratitude to the Learning and Engagement Department and Digital Design Department at Imperial War Museums London, for providing us the resources we needed to complete our project, and to the Volunteer Program at Imperial War Museums London for their advice and participation in our project.

Churchill War Rooms Celebrates 30 Anniversary
Immediate Release Churchill War Rooms celebrates 30th anniversary This April, Churchill War Rooms celebrates the 30th anniversary of its public opening, with a new display showcasing never before seen objects. Revealing the little known story of the rooms following their closure at the end of the Second World War, new items on display include personal correspondence discussing the fate of the War Rooms, a private admissions ticket from the days visitors had to request special entry to view the site and a poster from 1984, advertising the exciting forthcoming opening of the Cabinet War Rooms to the public. Phil Reed, Director of IWM’s Churchill War Rooms says: “In May 1940, Prime Minister Winston Churchill stood in the Cabinet Room of what is now known as The Churchill War Rooms and pronounced ‘this is the room from which I will lead the war’. When the bombs and v-weapons were raining down on London in the Second World War that is just what Churchill did. The Cabinet Room, Map Room and the room, from which he delivered four of his wartime speeches, still survive today. I believe that nowhere else captures the spirit of Churchill and the atmosphere of those times, as in these carefully preserved historic spaces. As you walk the corridors of the Churchill War Rooms today, you walk in the steps of Churchill”. Since opening 30 years ago, the Churchill War Rooms has shared its unique and important history with millions of visitors. Located in the heart of Westminster, visitors to Churchill War Rooms can view this complex of historic rooms and most secret of spaces, left as they were in 1945.
