The National Museum of Computing enjoys tablet resurrection of BBC Domesday
Project | Culture24
In 1986, to mark the 900th anniversary of the Domesday Book, the BBC
launched the Domesday Project, a then-pioneering campaign where the public could
submit pictures and insights on their local area which were then etched
onto immortal laserdiscs.
High costs and technological advances meant the project was never fully
realised in spite of its futuristic ambitions, but last April BBC Learning
resurrected the project by making the archives accessible online.
