You can access the #BBC #Domesday #DomesdayProject data and pictures on the UK #NationalArchives #DomesdayReloaded site, although it's not the same without the laserdisc whirring away...

Here is the totally real and not made up at all Battle of Huntingdon:

An early example of digital disinformation in user generated content, from the #BBC #Domesday #DomesdayProject. None of this actually happened. Huntingdon doesn't even have two bridges...

Broke my journey from #WHY2025 to visit the Centre for Computing History and see the last working Domesday Machine. Send me UK place names, and I will try to look them up for you!

Call to all:

I am getting rid of a bunch of LDs. Does anyone want ANY of these Domesday captured?
I specifically want suggestions if films have unique audio or video that's "stuck" on LD.
All of these will eventually be for sale as well.

The Person Saving The Media You Love Is You - Aftermath

If you wanna archive a VHS tape right, you gotta do it yourself. VHS-Decode and LD-Decode are the future of tape and laserdisc archiving.

INTERAKTIVE KARTE:
ENGLAND IM JAHR 1086

Das Domesday Book wurde 1086 n. Chr. für Wilhelm den Eroberer zusammengestellt. Es erfasst die Anzahl der Haushalte, die wirtschaftlichen Ressourcen, die Eigentümer des Landes und die an den König gezahlten Steuern für fast jede Siedlung in England. Diese Karte zeigt jeden Ort in Domesday, der heute noch lokalisiert werden kann.
