Traces through Time: a new tool for finding linked records across our collections

This talk introduces 'Traces through Time', a project by The
National Archives which combines historical data sets and the
latest technology to help researchers find linked records across
our collections. Starting with service records from the First
World War, the project has so far identified and published over
half a million links. This work enables new insights from
archival records and allows people's stories to emerge from the
data.


Dr Sonia Ranade is the Principal Investigator on the 'Traces
through Time' project. She has a background in Information
Science and, since joining The National Archives in 1998, has
worked to improve access to our unique collections.
