I promised to find and rebroadcast some web sources for ANZAC day here in New Zealand. To date, I have three web sources plus an update to the Auckland Museum.
NZ On Screen
NZ On Screen have excelled themselves by offering not one, but 18 different sources for us to dwell on . Or as the site has it:
"This collection brings together 18 titles covering Kiwis at war. Iconic documentaries and films tell stories of terrible cost, heroism and brotherhood. Each title raises fundamental questions about our identity. Dr Chris Pugsley muses, “It is sobering to think that in the first half of the 20th Century the big OE for most New Zealanders was going to war.”.."NZ History
Also of note is this collection of sources from NZ History. Again, there is ample evidence of an outstanding effort in bringing to the online screen new sources and insights into the ANZAC story. The front page has a number of starting points - with the tighter focus on the ANZAC story, here.
NZ Live
NZ Live have put together a very timely list of local and regional events for the ANZAC ceremonious etc. See, here
Auckland Museum
I'm told that Auckland Museum will once again be using the whole of the front of the Museum building as a cinematic montage of the names of the 30,000 fallen plays tonight, and tomorrow night.
Thanks
I am sure there are other sources which I have missed - feel free to add them as a comment. In the meantime I would like to thank these sites for the work they have put in to extend the online commemoration of the ANZAC.

Hi Paul
Some New Zealand and Australian members of The Commons on Flickr (State Library of Queensland, State Library of New South Wales, Australian War Memorial and National Library of New Zealand) have collaborated on a joint upload of photos taken in Gallipoli in 1915, and photos of Anzac Day ceremonies.
Check out the Indicommons blog post about the upload.
