Bolton Archives and Local Studies service have overseen a project to create and develop a database recording all of Bolton’s war dead. The results of this research are to be found on the website Bolton Remembers.

Together with a database of names, each casualty's name has recorded against it both biographical information and data on Bolton memorials on which the casualty's name is commemorated.
