Domesday Online was launched on this morning’s BBC
Today
Programme by a National Archives spokesman, who assured listeners that the
site would not crash, as happened when the
1901
census went online in 2002.
The website allows visitors to search by town, city or village. Copies of the
original Domesday Book page, with a translation into modern English, can be
ordered for £3.50 each. The original book is on show in The National Archives
museum in Kew, Surrey.
Domesday Online is the latest digitisation project from The National Archives
Documents Online service. The group is now working on an online version of the
1911
census, due to go live on the first working day of 2012. All census forms
include an explicit assurance that they will remain closed to the public for 100
years.
