Instructions

Two volunteers are working on this volume

When you start a page please enter your name against a Page below. This indicates to your fellow volunteer that the page is being worked upon.

If you have any queries regarding the contents of the page, please add it to a line beneath the Page No below. We will check regularly for questions and attempt to answer.

When you finish a page completely - please type completed at the end of the line, again you can add a note also if you wish.

Transcribe the information for each item as it is in the album.

If you supply information that is not on the item please put it in square brackets.

if you can't decipher a word or phrase put in a question mark in square brackets e.g. [?]

At the end of the entry make a note of the type of material e.g. [Photograph], [Newspaper cutting], [Signature]. [Letter]


Record of page completion

Use this to comment on any issues relating to a page, problems deciphering hand writing etc. but also to sign off a completed page.

Page 1 - started - User:Scotfot - completed

Page 2 - started - User:Scotfot - completed

Page 3 - started - User:Scotfot - completed

Page 4 - started - User:Scotfot - completed

Page 5 - started - User:Scotfot - completed

Page 6 - started - User:Scotfot - completed

Page 7 - started - User:Jenbenmather completed

No, full transcriptions of the letters are NOT required. Just sender, receiver, what about and date you could always
regarding letter pages being on separate page images: put the details of page numbers:
19 August 1900 W Whitaker in Keswick to Miss Johnston [Letter] [Page 1]
19 August 1900 W Whitaker in Keswick to Miss Johnston [Letter] [Page 4]
19 August 1900 W Whitaker in Keswick to Miss Johnston [Letter] [Page 2-3]
as to the occurrence of the photo - something like: W Whitaker [Photograph] [As page 7]
No real hard and fast rules - just what is logical ...
I think we can say its Whitaker rather than Whitaker (?)
If there is anything that ties an item (e.g. letters) to a particular GA field trip - that will be important info as we will be having 'GA field trip Earthwise pages further down the line.

Believe me with regards Yours sincerely W ? Swinnell? [Signature] Could be W F Gwinnelldone

Kind regards from Yours sincerely Ethel J ? Skeat [Signature] Check Obit list not there but signature is very similar to Ethel G Woods - same person, maiden name Obit in PGA

Page 11 - [User:jenbenmather] completed

Some signatures are tricky - I have checked the Obit list

Tried Lowe, Loewe - Yes, Lowe found references to him elsewhere

Tried Head, Read, Slead - Confirmed, "Head" in membership list

Chas ? Pratt middle initial. The signature doesn't look much like the Charles Pratt American oilman Jonathan provided Rev Charles Tiplady Pratt (1839-1921) and has some biog. info which he will add

Page 12 - [User:jenbenmather] started All good wishes, sincerely yours [? can't read] [Signature] difficult one!

Eva Whitley, Rachel Workman, Russell [?] Gwinnell, Lieutenant Coke [?] difficult one!, Miss Davies [List of names] [may refer to photograph or field trip participants in photograph below agree]

Frederick Meeson, Roger Meeson Sept 7th 19[rest of date hidden by fold on page] [Signatures] I'll get Andrew Morrison the BGS Archivist to check this out when the KW site reopens

Page 13 - [User:jenbenmather] - started I think the signatures and three other names must relate to the group photograph - might there be a photo elsewhere that it links to? Best bet would be the signatures and the additional names relate to the 1906 Easter trip on the same page. They are probably members who attended but for which there wasn't a signature

Page 20 -started [User: jenbenmather] - completed One difficult signature - can't relate it easily to any of the names in the press cutting Mr. Janchen is probably the best fit, There was an F Janchen on other GA trips put in
