Memory of a Nation from Lightwell on Vimeo.

Visitors to the Memory of a Nation exhibition at the National Archives of Australia can view a range of documents relating to Australia's past. The Archives' collection contains many records on paper such as war records, immigration certificates, photographs and drawings, as well as film footage and physical objects.

Visitors can use the multitouch interactive program to browse a range of documents and zoom in to details. The program lets visitors handle a digital version of the paper artefact without any concern for object conservation. Thematic links between records encourage exploration by visitors.

The 'show everything' interface was developed in conjunction with Dr Mitchell Whitelaw from the University of Canberra. Exhibition Design by Freeman Ryan Design.
