International Brigade Memorial Trust
The IBMT is launching a major project to update and enhance the online directory of memorials across Britain and Ireland dedicated to the International Brigades – whether sculptures, plaques or memorial benches and trees.
Along with a database of volunteers who served in Spain, the directory enables IBMT members, historians and researchers to search for details of memorials and volunteers.
We often remind members to send us updated details on the placement and condition of these memorials, as well as any new memorials that have been raised – or old ones that have been removed.
We are aware that some of the information in the directory is out of date. It is with this in mind that the IBMT is launching the memorials project. The aim will be allow for more accurate searches, more precise location data and better images where necessary.
The work will be carried out by a volunteer IBMT member, Greg Pasco, an LSE graduate who is a former speech therapist and researcher specialising in autism.
If you have any information, updates or queries about memorials or this project, contact Greg at memorials@international-brigades.org.uk
