Melbourne volunteers' workshop

Submitted by claudine on 29 April, 2010 - 19:32

Our first Melbourne workshop on 25 June will be to get to know some of our volunteers, and start organising projects. This will be only the beginning—please do not feel you are missing out if you cannot be there.

We will commence with a talk by Alison Alexander and then spend the rest of the day organising groups and individual projects.

One of the reasons for holding it on a week day is that there are plenty of places to find lunch and where we can talk more informally. We are seeking as much advice from you as you will be from us!

Event date: 
25 June, 2010 - 10:00 - 16:00
Event venue: 
University of Melbourne School of Population Health, 221 Bouverie St, Carlton

Interviews about the design of this site

Submitted by petterdr on 8 April, 2010 - 16:17

Dear Volunteers,

There is a lot of changes and developments happening with the Founders and Survivors site in the near future. I'm currently helping the team with the design of the site.

I would like to do some short interviews with some of the users of the site, to get a sense of how the community would like the site to look and how you want it to work. These interviews can be done on the phone or if you are based in Hobart we can meet at my office.

If you are interested please contact me via email at robin@sproutlabs.com.au.

Thank you

Robin Petterd

Dear friends of Founders and Survivors,

Many of you have indicated your interest in working with other volunteers in your area, or in making contact with other local genealogists. I have set a up a number of pages on this website to facilitate this. You can visit the Groups page to see a list of local volunteer groups, and request membership of a group.

If you would like to join or suggest a location that is not listed, or if you would like to assist us by coordinating a local group, please contact Claudine.

Where do I find the convict number?

Submitted by claudine on 22 February, 2010 - 16:17

On the convict submission form we ask for the Convict number from the Archives of Tasmania Index to Tasmanian Convicts. This is a unique number that the Archives of Tasmania has given to each convict in its index. To find this number for your convict, go to the search form for the Index to Tasmanian Convicts and search for your convict.

You can find the convict number on the list of search results, for example:
