Domesday ReLoaded
 

The Domesday book was compiled in 1986, at which point I wouldn't have known a lot about it as I would have been 1 year old. The information was created by schools and similar on the BBC Micro and submitted to the beeb on a floppy disk. The resulting media was actually on Laser Disk and the equipment to view the Domesday information cost about £5000 so the end result was seen by very few people.

In the last year, the BBC has had people working on digitising the information from the Domesday disks, text was encoded and stored as audio and pictures were stored as individual frames of video on these disks making the task harder than it should have been.

This is the end result http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday well worth a look, very interesting!
