!EVDemo/Data/t/Text/Text1

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

The information on the disc can be accessed in three ways: through the Investigating History section, the Time Chart and the Index. Also available is a Biography section that gives additional information on the fictional characters that are introduced along the way.

How We Used to Live: Early Victorians uses hundreds of images, some of which date from the 18th and 19th centuries, audio, video, animation and over 30 000 words of text to graphically illustrate British history from 1700 to 1850. It was developed to meet the requirements set out by Key Stage 2, Study Unit 3a: Victorian Britain, of the National Curriculum 1995.
