France seeks WWI mementos to mark centennial

In this photo taken Saturday Nov. 16, 2013, a soldier's photograph dating from World War I sits on a table, in Lille northern France. Paris’ National Library is one of dozens of collection points across France that opened their doors from November 9 to 16 for the “Grande Collecte.” Donors were invited to tell the stories behind their mementos, which the library’s experts used to annotate the entries in the archive. Contributors watched as the library’s technical staff digitized their items before returning them to the donor.
