SLNSW Voyages of Discovery
Voyages of Discovery takes visitors on an interactive search for Terra Australia Incognita - the unknown southern land. Exploring the State Library’s incredible maps, journals, drawings and books, this scroll down responsive web app explains how the European discoveries of Australia were gradually pieced together.
Read a description of the story below, or check it out on the Library's website here:
Voyages of Discovery was created using an AngularJS framework and an integrated Drupal backend provided by the Library. This responsive scroll-down web app provides visitors with a new and exciting way to understand one of the Library’s greatest collections.
The site is interspersed with large-tiled images, animations, videos, maps, puzzles, flip-books and 3D objects.
In collaboration with the Library's curatorial team, Lightwell handled the copy, curated the content and coded each story to create a self-contained storytelling experience.
