The British Library has been awarded the 'opening the world of knowledge' award for Timelines: Sources from History by the Nominet Internet Awards. The Nominet Internet Awards aim to recognise and celebrate individuals and organisations that are helping to make the Internet a secure, open, accessible and diverse experience for everyone who uses it.
Timelines: Sources from History (www.bl.uk/timeline) is a rich-media interactive that allows users to explore British Library collection items chronologically for the first time. Bringing together material from the Library's vast collections and using cutting-edge Flash technology, users are able to discover historical connections in an exciting multimedia experience. The timeline allows students to get a sense both of change and continuity when studying historical events.
The judges praised the British Library's interactive timeline for the way it brings global quality content to life for a worldwide audience and for its impressive use of multimedia and historical context setting. Timelines will be promoted in the UK and internationally as examples of best practice, including at the next international Internet Governance Forum (IGF) meeting in Vilnius, Lithuania on September 14, 2010.
