Domesday Reloaded
In 1986 the BBC asked a million people to contribute to a digital snapshot of Britain called The Domesday Project. Over one million people took part generating 25,000 pictures and 150,000 articles. However, the format became unaffordable and obsolete and as a result most people never saw their contributions.
