A digital version of the 920-year-old Domesday Book is now available on the National Archives website.
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.
