Today, 20 August, is the day that the city’s year-long reign as European Capital of Culture is reflected in the date.

To mark this down for posterity the Trinity Mirror-owned title is attempting to take an online snapshot of the day by charting what people are doing, what news stories are breaking and what key city personalities have to say – all the way through from 7am until midnight.

A historic day awaits

The idea is to create a rich media archive of the day that will be permanently embedded within the paper’s website.

It marks a further interactive project for the paper, following on in the footsteps of its live blog that lifted the covers on the working of the Post’s editorial team in May this year.

On that occasion some 1,600 were said to have logged on, leading editor Mark Thomas to hail it as “a compelling and rewarding experience for everyone on the newspaper.”

Those wishing to contribute this time round can do so at the Post’s website.

As a message on the site implored yesterday: “play your part, making a piece of Liverpool history.”
