the BBC reports :

"The Domesday Book has embarked on many varied journeys in its 920-year lifetime. Its latest stop is now the web.

The iconic 11th Century document, which has been rebound, copied, facsimiled and even hidden in prisons, has been made available online.

This latest chapter in the history of the survey of England, carried out for William the Conqueror, has been organised by the National Archives in Kew, West London, where the book has its home."
