However, the BBC later announced that the CAMiLEON project (a partnership between the [[University of Leeds]] and [[University of Michigan]], led by [[Margaret Hedstrom]] and managed by researcher Paul Wheatley<ref name="LeedsStudent20021206">{{ cite news | url=https://archive.org/details/StudentBritNewspaper/page/n1/mode/1up | title=Doomed BBC project rescued | work=Leeds Student | date=6 December 2002 | access-date=17 December 2020 | last1=Wells | first1=Emma | pages=2 }}</ref>) had developed a system capable of accessing the discs using [[emulator|emulation]] techniques.<ref>{{cite news | first = Robin | last = McKie |author2=Thorpe, Vanessa | title = Digital Domesday Book lasts 15 years not 1000 | date = 2002-03-03 | url = https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2002/mar/03/research.elearning | work = [[The Guardian]] | access-date = 2011-07-18 | quote = 'That means we have to find a way to emulate this data, in other words to turn into a form that can be used no matter what is the computer format of the future.

Images, stored as still-frame video, were digitised at full resolution using video capture hardware and stored uncompressed, ultimately requiring around 70&nbsp;GB of storage per side of each laserdisc. A modified version of the Free Software emulator, BeebEm, was then used to access the archived data, with enhancements introduced to support emulation of the Turbo co-processor, SCSI communication and laserdisc player functionality.<ref name="iconbar20030115">{{ cite web | url=https://www.iconbar.com/articles/CAMiLEON_Emulation_and_BBC_Domesday/index937.html | title=CAMiLEON: Emulation and BBC Domesday | work=The Icon Bar | last1=Mellor | first1=Phil | date=15 January 2003 | access-date=15 November 2020 }}</ref>
