Bomb Sight, a project of the British National Archives, allows readers
to experience the World War II bombing of London through interactive
maps, photographs, and compelling narratives. The landing page engages
readers from the start, where a map of London is covered with numerous
red dots, each related to the bombing of that particular location.
Selecting one of the dots pulls up the type of explosive and the
approximate address of its location, as well as a "Read more" link
leading to a page with historical images from the Imperial War Museum's
archives related to the area and links to narratives of Londoners'
memories about the bombings related to the area. These pages also allow
readers to explore statistics at multiple scales, such as how many bombs
fell in that particular city ward or borough, as well as in Greater
London. In addition to perusing the data via the interactive map, the
Explore London tab features an index of bombing statistics organized
alphabetically by borough, thus enabling visitors to select a particular
area of London and learn about how the Blitz affected that area.
