A snapshot of life in West Yorkshire 25 years ago has been unearthed in the form of a digital time capsule.
It was in 1986 that the BBCs Domesday Project first asked people across the UK to collect images and stories reflecting life where they lived.
West Yorkshire stories emerged like the Outlane Drum Majorettes whose attempts to hit the big time were documented.
These stories, and hundreds like them, were stored on what were then state-of-the-art shiny digital videodiscs.
Sadly, as is often the case with technology, it was only a matter of time before videodiscs were a thing of the past and the images and stories collected were never widely seen.
Over to you
However, 25 years on the original Domesday Project is coming to life once again, this time using the internet.
All the fascinating information from 1986 has now gone online on the BBCs Domesday Reloaded website and now it is over to you.
