    Research Data gaps + big projects

    Hi folks It's been a while since I left Melbourne and Collingwood Archives and relocated back to Canberra, so haven't really contributed for a few years whilst distracted trying to recover from covid generated financial stress. A project I started in Melbourne was creating a database of all...

    Anyone recognize this old Guernsey design? Received in a memorabilia donation (amongst other State jumpers) from legendary VFL administrator's family. Woollen jumper with Jason's Knitting Mill tag, white with green A on front and green numbers. Maybe an Amateurs rep Guernsey?

    Ok, but just to clarify, Steve and Col are unlikely to look at them. Agreement was we would not look at newspaper A v Newspaper B type discrepancies in foreseeable future. We have just saved all our research for future, if some other evidence comes to the fore.

    Luckily pre 1911, goals were less frequent :) Even in a news report, reporter drops his pencil in the media box, goal is scored, "Macca who kicked that?" Answer goes in the paper next day, might be right, might be wrong. Even when there were 4 sources saying one thing, we found several...

    Several historians met with Col Hutchisson and Steve Rodgers at AFL HQ over the off season to discuss game and goal stats and possible changes. There was a general methodology agreement after discussion about the respective accuracy or otherwise of some printed sources, with different...

    Research Missing DOD or DOB for League players (AFL)

    Lawrence William and Eugene Francis (Frank) were brothers. Frank used Lawrence's name when in trouble with military and police. Frank had other aliases and was involved in a fair bit of "mischief". An interesting character.

    Discussion Searching Trove - your tips

    I regularly go back and watch the help videos in Trove. I always pick up a new way to search or a feature I haven't used well previously. I use Tags a lot but a caution if you are doing public tags, another similar tag can confuse your findings. Eg I was researching Boyd from Collingwood but...

    1. I am waiting on feedback on the draft minutes but everyone is in lockdown so not holding my breath.

    Yes, there is a page for each season for each club, showing all players that season, where they came from, previous season,rd by rd matches played and goals, sometimes weekly votes, end of season votes/awards and notes of transfers. I attach a Collingwood page for 1934 as sample. I had to copy...

    Have focused on Collingwood records previously but hoping to digitise all into a database/website this year. Quality varies. Permit Register book from 1897-1930 is good. Then it goes to Minute Books from Umpire and Permit Committee which list the permits in the minutes, but after a few years it...
