BBC Domesday Reloaded is a web site for the digitised content of the 1986 BBC Domesday Project. It was launched in May 2011.[2]
History
BBC Learning worked with The National Archives to digitise the material.[3] The data was extracted to a PC compatible computer by communication with the BBC Master which hosted the original system. The transfer was facilitated by Simon Guerrero and Andy Finny, who were involved in the original project.[4][5]
Main features
The website provides online access to images and articles from the original Domesday Project. Visitors could update information from their local area, with the closing date for submissions being 31 October 2011. [6]

[...] in the end however we were contacted by an extremely clever engineer: Simon Guerrero who wanted to do an extraction (having taken part in the original project), the timing was wonderful and did the actual data transfer. [...] We hooked a PC up to the serial port and wrote another programme to receive the data coming from the Master and write it to disk. To obtain the images another piece of software written on the PC was used to send BBC star commands to the Master system via the serial port, which caused the individual display of the video frames stored on the LVROM, those frames were then captured via a video input on the PC's graphics card and written to disk, each named for its frame number from the source video.

Since the quality of our image extraction wasn't wonderful we ended up using the work done by the wonderful Andy Finny to extract the frames from the original one inch video tapes used to create the LVROMs.
