A Fixture
This list comes from the Great War Forum web site. It was provided in a thread discussing the absence of maps in books on WWI. The Great War in a Different Light and at least one other of these has shown up on PF before, but several of the others have not.
All the best,
Dan

Autochromes de la guerre 1914-1918
Website [in French] with photographs from the Great War

The National Film Board WW1 Film Project
The NFB continue a program to digitize Canadian films from WW1. The only downside is having to use my least favourite media player, RealPlayer. However, the images have a haunting impact on the viewer.

Great War in a Different Light
Accounts and Galleries from Great War Books and Magazines with more than 6000 Authentic Period Photos, Illustrations and News articles.

Imperial War Museum - Trench Map and Trench Map CD
This selection of 175 large-scale (1:10,000 or approximately 6-inches to 1 mile) trench maps has been made from the collection of the Imperial War Museum, enabling us to provide almost complete coverage of the British section of the Western Front in the 1914-18 war, from the North Sea at Nieuport in Belgium southwards to St. Quentin. They form a most useful database for historians, GCSE and A-level students, battlefield tours, family history researchers, etc., and everyone interested in the First World War.

The Geography of the Great War - Frank M. McMurray, Ph.D., New York, The MacMillan Co. 1919
An interesting presentation of the original book in digital form. It is a large document and loads slowly, however, it presents the geography of the Great War from a 1919 perspective.

The Department of History at the United States Military Academy began developing a series of campaign atlases to aid in teaching cadets a course entitled, "History of the Military Art."

Paths of Glory Website - Trench Map Section [April 2005]
This website is part of Croonaert Research and contains a wide range of information and research services primarily for the BEF researcher. However, there is a simple and clear presentation on the type of BEF mapping and trench maps from 1914 until 1918. Croonaert is a regular contributor on the Great War Forum.

Australian War Memorial - Gallipoli Mapping [May 2005]
This high quality website contains landing maps, cemetery maps, Turkish maps and Trench maps. The presentation techniques are highly innovative and should be viewed. Quality of this website is exceptional - all other government websites should look at the techniques used on this site. Highly recommended.
