FAS Convict Ship 370.22 Aurora (2) arrived 1851 at VDL Prosopography Index

This collection provides a complete list of convict names and sufficient biographical data to enable unambiguous identification of convicts who were disembarked from convict ship "Aurora (2)" at Van Diemen's Land on 1851-08-10

This includes, where known, an estimation of the year of birth, place of birth, where and when convicted, the sentence, the date of arrival in the colony and the convict's age on arrival. The brief convict biographical data provided in this collection serves as an index into the far more extensive set of life course events which are recorded in the prosopgraphy database built by the Founders and Survivors project.

Basic details for this ship:
* ship name (as known in VDL records): Aurora (2)
* sailed date : 1851-04-26 from London
* arrival date : 1851-08-10
* population (per Bateson's The Convict Ships): Embarked:232 Women ; Deaths:3 Women ; Landed:229(VDL) Women

Data for convicts listed in this collection comes from the source which has been determined by Founders and Survivors to form the "base population" for this ship. Further information as to the methodology and the linkage of multiple sources is detailed in the narrative format of the collection. The matching and linkage of additional sources about Tasmanian convict's is the subject of ongoing research. This collection may be repuplished regularly, and in additional formats and with specific user interfaces, to enable public participation in the quality of convict matching and linkage -- see for example the EXPERIMENTAL linkage.htm format for this collection.
Linkage for ships arriving at Norfolk Island and Port Philip is incomplete.

This ship's prosopography index is published in a directory named "370.22" (the ship's project id). Three three different file formats provided:
-- (default; suitable for web browsing) HTML: world wide web hypertext markup language format which provides a "narrative" view of the collection (index.htm); and
-- (structured prosopgraphy: persons and events) XML / TEIp5 : Text Encoding Initiative (version p5) XML format which provides the underlying XML database for this collection (index.xml); and
-- [Not yet available] (row/column flat) simple list of convict names in a flat file, tab delimited, suitable for Excel, Stata, SPSS or database usage (index.tab). See notes below.

本数据集收录了完整的流放犯姓名列表与详实的生平信息，可精准识别1851年8月10日在范迪门地（Van Diemen's Land）从流放船“奥罗拉二号（Aurora (2)）”上岸的所有流放犯。

本数据集包含已知的出生年份估算值、出生地、定罪地点与时间、刑罚类型、抵达殖民地日期，以及流放犯登岸时的年龄。

本数据集提供的简要流放犯生平信息，可作为索引，用于检索由“创始者与幸存者项目（Founders and Survivors）”构建的人物志数据库中更为丰富的人生轨迹记录。

本流放船的基础信息如下：
* （范迪门地档案记录中所用）船名：奥罗拉二号（Aurora (2)）
* 起航日期：1851年4月26日，起航地为伦敦
* 抵岸日期：1851年8月10日
* 人员统计（引自贝茨顿所著《流放船》（The Convict Ships））：登船总人数：232名女性；途中死亡人数：3名女性；最终在范迪门地登岸人数：229名女性

本数据集收录的流放犯数据，源自“创始者与幸存者项目”认定的本船流放群体“基准样本”来源。数据集叙事版中详细说明了多源数据整合的方法与关联规则。针对塔斯马尼亚流放犯的额外数据源匹配与关联工作仍在持续研究中。本数据集将定期以新增格式与专属用户界面重新发布，以便公众参与流放犯信息匹配与关联的质量优化——例如可参考本数据集的实验性关联页面（EXPERIMENTAL linkage.htm）。

针对抵达诺福克岛与菲利普港的船只的关联数据尚未完善。

本船的人物志索引以编号为“370.22”（本船项目ID）的目录发布。本数据集提供三种不同格式的文件：
--（默认格式，适用于网页浏览）超文本标记语言（HTML）：采用万维网超文本标记语言格式，提供本数据集的“叙事式”浏览视图（index.htm）；
--（结构化人物志：人物与事件）XML/TEIp5格式：采用文本编码倡议第五版（Text Encoding Initiative p5）XML格式，为本数据集提供底层XML数据库支撑（index.xml）；
--【暂未上线】（行列扁平化格式）纯文本制表符分隔列表：以纯文本文件形式存储的流放犯姓名简表，支持Excel、Stata、SPSS或数据库导入使用（index.tab）。详见下文说明。
