Project Alpha is about The National Archives (TNA) envisaging what it would create if it were to start completely a new with its website. With 34 million descriptions of records, TNA's online catalogue is vast and it is easy for people to feel lost. Not everyone who might benefit from the archive has a well-formed research question or knows how to use TNA's services. Alpha has explored new possibilities and built some prototypes for a new website experience, aiming to look beyond current technological and cultural limitations, to define what a modern, accessible archive should and could be for all users. |
