LONDON.- This May the Imperial War Museum London launches Explore History, an innovative project which will see visitors get up close and personal with the past thanks to improved access to the Museums Collections. The Museums chief new feature will be the Explore History Centre, a specially-designed public space where anyone can drop in for free and immediately access parts of the Museums vast collection of digitised photos, film, sound recordings, documents, art, ephemera and books. Visitors young and old will be encouraged to take advantage of an easy-to-search web catalogue, interactive multimedia displays, and the expertise of staff, to discover hidden treasures from the Museums archives as well as the personal stories behind them. Individuals can even pre-book appointments with Museum experts to learn more about objects theyve uncovered at home, or to suggest items they wish to donate. There
