Churchill’s historic legacy is almost certainly his contribution to the survival of democracy in Western Europe during the Second World War. He is commemorated in many statues, sculptures, street names and buildings. Different aspects of his life can be investigated at many of the sites associated with him – Blenheim, Chartwell, the Churchill War Rooms, the National Churchill Memorial at Fulton – and his archives can be researched at the Churchill Archives Centre and via the Churchill Archive Online. But there are also a number of living legacies that seek to educate and inspire future generations, such as the International Churchill Centres, Churchill College, Cambridge, the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust, the Winston Churchill Foundation of the United States and the English-Speaking Union. This section will tell you more about Churchill’s influence today – and his potential impact on tomorrow’s generation.
