Digital Domesday Defies Doom
Hulver writes "The BBC Domesday project, originally completed in 1986 and under threat (as reported in this old slashdot story) has had its data recovered. The contents of the laserdiscs have been put on DVD, and new programs written so that PCs can access the data. Interestingly, most of the images and films were not recovered from the laserdiscs, but were instead re-digitised from the original analog films at a higher resolution than the laserdiscs contained. Full details of the recovered data are at the Public Record Office website."

The Websters Dictionary lists:
Domesday (or Doomsday) Book and
Doomsday Book n. Domesday Book.
The Encyclopaedia Britannica article:
"Domesday Book, or simply Domesday, the original record or summary of
William I the Conqueror's survey of England. By contemporaries the
whole operation was known as "the description of England." but the
popular name Domesday--i.e., "doomsday," when men face the record from
which there is no appeal--was in general use by the mid-12th century."
