AI-generated Summary

Kuala Lumpur, 2 January 2025 – The Economic History Malaysia (EHM) project, a prestigious digital initiative dedicated to chronicling Malaysia’s economic and social evolution, today announced the launch of its next-generation digital platform. Leveraging XTOPIA technology, the revitalised website introduces advanced AI capabilities and a mobile-first Progressive Web App (PWA) to make historical archives more accessible to researchers, students, and the global public.

As the EHM project expands its focus from the pioneering historical GDP accounts of Malaya to a comprehensive digital archive including over 1.4 million pages of British Colonial Office documents, the need for sophisticated navigation and content management has become paramount.

By using XTOPIA, we’ve created a platform that treats historical data with the same speed and intelligence as a modern fintech application.
