This website was started in 2004 with the objective of making available information on the Anglo Boer War 1899 - 1900.  The site is free to use and has grown over the years so that it currently consists of over 2,100 articles, over 11,000 images and more than 12,500 pages in searchable PDF format.

The site is arranged into several main sections:

• Biographical details of people who were involved in the Boer War (some 15-20% of those present)
• Details of the medals awarded for the Boer War and other contemporary and South African campaigns
• Information on the Imperial, Colonial, South African and Boer units that participated
• The full text of over 50 Boer War books
• Information on the author's current and future publications and research projects
• Forum
