FAS Convict Ship 356.26 Guildford arrived 1820 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 "Guildford" at Van Diemen's Land on 1820-10-28

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): Guildford
* sailed date : 1820-05-14 from P'smouth
* arrival date : 1820-10-28
* population (per Bateson's The Convict Ships): Embarked:190 Men ; Landed:1(NSW) and 189(VDL) Men

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 "356.26" (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罪犯姓名清单与充足的生平信息，可实现无歧义识别1820年10月28日在范迪门地（Van Diemen's Land）从“吉尔福德号”（Guildford）流放船（convict ship）登陆的所有罪犯。

若信息可查，本数据集包含罪犯的出生年份估算值、出生地、定罪地点与时间、刑罚内容、抵达殖民地的日期，以及抵达时的年龄。

本数据集所载的简要罪犯生平信息，可作为索引，用于检索“创始者与幸存者（Founders and Survivors）项目”所构建的人物志数据库（prosopography database）中记录的更为丰富的人生历程事件数据集。

该流放船的基本信息如下：
* 【范迪门地（Van Diemen's Land，简称VDL）档案记载名称】：吉尔福德号（Guildford）
* 启航日期：1820年5月14日，从朴茨茅斯（Portsmouth）出发
* 抵达日期：1820年10月28日
* 人员规模（引自贝茨顿所著《流放船》（The Convict Ships））：登船人数190名男性；登陆人数1名（新南威尔士州，New South Wales，简称NSW）与189名（范迪门地，Van Diemen's Land，简称VDL）男性

本数据集收录的罪犯数据，均取自“创始者与幸存者（Founders and Survivors）项目”认定为该流放船“基准人群（base population）”的原始数据源。有关多源数据整合方法及关联流程的更多细节，详见本数据集的叙事性说明文本。

针对塔斯马尼亚州罪犯的额外数据源的匹配与关联工作，目前仍在持续研究中。本数据集将定期以新增格式、搭配专属用户界面重新发布，以吸纳公众参与罪犯匹配与关联工作的质量优化——例如可参考本数据集的实验性关联格式文档（EXPERIMENTAL linkage.htm）。

针对抵达诺福克岛与菲利普港的流放船的关联工作仍未完善。

该流放船的人物志索引发布于编号为“356.26”的目录（即该船的项目ID）。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（HyperText Markup Language，HTML）：万维网超文本标记语言格式，以“叙事性视图”展示本数据集（对应文件为index.htm）；
-- 【结构化人物志：人物与事件】XML/TEIp5格式：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（对应文件为index.xml）；
-- 【暂未上线】（行列扁平化格式）纯文本表格格式：以制表符分隔的罪犯姓名简表，适用于Excel、Stata、SPSS或数据库导入使用（对应文件为index.tab）。详见下文说明。
