The British Library has launched its first smartphone app, which will present a rich selection of the items featured in the Library’s Sir John Ritblat Treasures Gallery, including Nelson's battle plans for Trafalgar.

'Treasures' will be available across multiple mobile platforms including iPhone, Android and iPad, providing a multimedia experience including 'over 100 of the Library’s greatest collection items, 250 high-definition images, over 40 videos providing expert commentary, textual interpretation for deeper understanding, as well as up to date information about the Library’s current exhibitions'.

See http://pressandpolicy.bl.uk/Press-Relea ... p-483.aspx

Is it Nelson's Memorandum that they are referring to?

Tony,

I would think they are one and the same. My guess is that they have just substituted the word 'plan' instead of 'memorandum', as being perhaps more generally understandable today. (Just a thought, but for some the word 'memorandum' might also have connotations with being deceased! :wink: )
