Domesday: Cashing in on Content 1,000 years old

Heading image of the Domesday book.A thousand years after its publication, the UK government hopes to cash in on one of its earliest and oldest surviving public records. The Domesday Book, published in 1086 is considered the foundation of the UK's National Archives.

Its text and images are now on-line, catalogued and indexed, fully searchable by anyone from anywhere around the world for free. Should you want a printed copy of the 1,000 year old document that describes the county where you were born or the village where you spend your honeymoon, a mere 3.5 pounds will do.

Cultural and historical knowledge is promoted, awareness on the value of National Archives is achieved and revenue for sustainability is generated.

All through open content, free access to information and charging for value added services.
