New volunteer group and discussion forums added

Submitted by claudine on 27 July, 2010 - 16:03

Dear volunteers,

At the Melbourne volunteers' workshop on 25 June, we identified a number of research tasks that volunteers can start working on. Some of these require physical access to sources, while others can be done online from any location. I have created a new group for coordinating Volunteers' projects, along with discussion forums for some of the tasks. If you are interested in helping with these or any other research tasks, please join the Volunteers' projects group at http://www.foundersandsurvivors.org/node/86860

Finally, we announce the coming launch of our online work-station and our first volunteers’ workshop.

New convict submission system

Submitted by claudine on 29 April, 2010 - 19:39

As you will see in the latest issue of our newsletter, we have created a new system for submitting convicts, to make up for the deficiencies in the previous system. All new submissions must be made using the process described in the FAQ entry, 'How do I add information about a Tasmanian convict?'.

The old 'Submit a convict' form is now closed to new submissions. If you have previously submitted convicts under the old system:

  1. You do not need to re-submit your previous entries; they will be incorporated into our master database

2.
