Home Front Ballarat WWI is an online database comprising biographies of over 2500 individuals, information about local war work in Ballarat and district, both voluntary and paid, and an image gallery and accompanying video featuring hundreds of photographs of life during the war years.

The Public Record Office of Victoria and Royal Historical Society of Victoria Victorian Community History Awards 2016 gave the site its Centenary of World War I award for 2016, which "recognises the best work or project on the impact of World War I on Victoria or Victorians."

Jennifer Burrell of the Ballarat and District Genealogical Society says the database has alphabetical listings of names and organisations. Each listing is provided with further information.

“The whole entry represents a considerable research effort by a community organisation,” says Ms Burrell.
