Domesday touchtable
The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park has unveiled a new multimedia Domesday 'Touchtable' display in order to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the original BBC Domesday project.
The touchtable will be on display at Bletchley Park from 10 December. It is one of only three in the UK and one of two hosting the Domesday application, The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC) said in an announcement on Wednesday. The other Domesday-loaded touchtable is now housed at MediaCity UK in Salford.
Launched in 1986, the Domesday project — itself a celebration of the 900th anniversary of the Domesday book — invited members of the public to submit images and text about their local areas.
