The MWHN comprises a host of affiliated researchers (historians and social scientists) – Members – in the United Kingdom, Europe, North America and Australasia, whose research or a part of their research engaged with some aspect of military welfare, broadly understood. Although history is at the heart of the network and membership largely comprises researchers in History departments, this is not just a venture for historians. MWHN membership is also drawn from French, Modern Languages and European Studies, Photography, Political Science, and Archives departments and backgrounds.
