h3. BBC Domesday Project

1986 Project to do a modern-day Domesday book (early crowd-sourcing)
* Used “BBC Master” computers with data on laserdisc
* Collected 147,819 pages of text and 23,225 photos
* Media expiring and obsolete technology put the data at risk!

Domesday Reloaded (2011)
* Required emulation of software
* Images restored from original masters
* http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday

To allow long-term access to data
* Don't use obscure formats!
* Don't use obscure media!
* Don't rely on technology being available!
* Do keep original source material!
