World Archives Project

Today brings us 5 new projects!  There was a pause on new projects as back end work was completed and the following projects were waiting to be published.

• Dorset, England, Bastardy Records, 1821-1853
  • This project may be familiar as we have keyed similar projects.  The records are handwritten on printed forms.  If you have any questions or feedback please post them on the Discussion page or UK Records message board.
• New South Wales, Australia, Government Gazettes, 1853-1899 (Part 3)
  • We completed Part 2 a few months ago.  These records are printed and detail various government events and notices.  If you have any questions or feedback please post them on the Discussion page or Australia Records message board.
• New South Wales, Australia, Sheriff’s Papers (Part 2)
  • We are still working on Part 1 but decided to slip this small project in.  These records are handwritten as they are correspondence regarding prisoners and police business.  If you have any questions or feedback please post them on the Discussion page or Australia Records message board.
• Ontario, Canada, The Ottawa Journal (Birth, Marriage and Death Notices), 1885-1980
  • We completed a previous Ottawa Journal project last year.  We are keying the vital notices from the newspaper – the records have been previously classified so this is an easier project.  If you have any questions or feedback please post them on the Discussion page or Canadian Records message board.
• South Australia, Australia, Passenger Lists, 1853
  • These records are sections of the Government Gazettes that contain passenger lists. The records are printed and easy to read.  If you have any questions or feedback please post them on the Discussion page or Australia Records message board.
