About the project

This website was commissioned by the Trustees of the Weardale Museum as a way of remembering and commemorating those from Weardale who were involved in various conflicts over the last 200 years.

Creation of the website was made possible by the Weardale Museum receiving a National Lottery “Heritage Emergency Fund” grant to help address the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on heritage. It makes publicly available a large segment of the data gathered by the Museum’s Family History team. Entering all of this data takes time, so please keep visiting the website.

If you wish to support this service, please consider making a donation.
