The Tanks and Tablecloths Visual Archive (TATVA) is a repository for all kinds of objects and ephemera linking the military with the domestic.It is an ongoing collection of visual material which incorporates the military and the home in a single object, story or picture.

Examples could include anything from air-raid shelter construction manuals to army marching songs, to wartime cookbooks or uniforms, from the Great War to the Cold War.

Much of the printed ephemera in the archive was kindly supplied by the Kevin Morrison collection. You can visit the homepage of the collection at http://www.learningservices.gcal.ac.uk/specialcollections/collections/morrison/index.html

If you have any images of objects, people or events that you would like to contribute, please e-mail them to us at tanksandtablecloths@yahoo.co.uk. All contributions will be very gratefully received!
