A Kent marketing communications agency has been chosen to produce a new online history timeline for East Sussex County Council.
Remedy Creative, based in Tunbridge Wells, will design and develop the interactive Time Tunnel project, which will explore the rich history of the region and key events from the Neolithic period to the present day.
East Sussex County Council commissioned the online project following a highly successful exhibition at the 2008 South of England Show, which illustrated key points in the region’s history.
It is hoped the comprehensive online resource will help local residents and school children easily access a wealth of historical data, archive material and images.
Featuring a navigable timeline that will allow users to quickly browse historical facts and information for each century or time period, the Time Tunnel will also include a fascinating selection of local images and photographs.
East Sussex County Council’s web services manager Rachel Smith said: “The original Time Tunnel display proved so successful with visitors that we were inspired to develop the idea for our website.
“We wanted to bring a wealth of historical research and archive information held in the county to a wider audience, so the idea of an online incarnation was born.
“The interactive timeline will be a simple, easy-to-use tool that will enable residents to learn all about the county’s history and discover how the past has shaped the area we live in today.”
Jason Hunt, senior designer at Remedy Creative said: “We are delighted to have been asked to develop this project.
“The timeline is a complex project both in terms of design and technical detail, with a lot of data to manage and turn into a simple, user-friendly resource that can be accessed by everyone.
“The end result will be a fantastic point-of-reference, where users can quickly discover important facts and information on the county’s abundant history.”
Remedy Creative has previously worked with East Sussex County Council to re-brand and re-design their intranet portal, and help develop the design of their website – www.eastsussex.gov.uk
