The National Archives’ Annual Digital Lecture poster exhibition

While not directly relevant to family history, this initiative from TNA shows how COVID has been a stimulus to innovation and change. In previous years, TNA's Annual Digital Lecture and poster display have taken place in person, but this year is moved online for a much wider audience. 

Below you’ll see each project title, followed by a short video describing the project, and an online poster display. I especially liked Project ALPHA highlighted below which shows TNA being open and receptive to comments about the development of its website.
