FAS Convict Ship 358.01 Malabar arrived 1821 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 "Malabar" at Van Diemen's Land on 1821-10-21

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): Malabar
* sailed date : 1821-06-22 from Gravesend
* arrival date : 1821-10-21
* population (per Bateson's The Convict Ships): Embarked:172 Men ; Relanded:1; Landed:171(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 "358.01" (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1821年10月21日从流放船（convict ship）"马拉巴尔号（Malabar）"卸送至范迪门地（Van Diemen's Land）的所有囚犯姓名，以及足够的生平资料，可实现对上述囚犯的明确识别。

若资料可查，本数据集还包含囚犯的出生年份估算值、出生地、定罪地点与时间、判决结果、抵达流放殖民地的日期，以及囚犯抵达时的年龄。本数据集提供的简要囚犯生平资料，可作为检索"创始者与幸存者（Founders and Survivors）"项目所构建的集体传记数据库（prosopography database）中大量人生轨迹事件的索引。

本船的基础信息如下：
* 范迪门地（VDL）档案中记载的船名：马拉巴尔号（Malabar）
* 起航日期：1821年6月22日（从英国格雷夫森德港出发）
* 抵达日期：1821年10月21日
* 人员规模（引自贝茨森所著《囚犯运输船》）：登船人数：172名男性；中途下船人数：1人；范迪门地登陆人数：171名男性（VDL统计）

本数据集收录的囚犯数据，来自"创始者与幸存者（Founders and Survivors）"项目认定的该船"基准人群"数据源。关于多源数据关联的方法论细节，已在本数据集的叙事式档案中详细说明。针对塔斯马尼亚囚犯的额外数据源匹配与关联工作，目前仍在持续研究中。本数据集将定期以额外格式、搭配专属用户界面重新发布，以吸纳公众参与提升囚犯信息匹配与关联的质量——例如可参考本数据集的实验性关联页面（linkage.htm）。针对运往诺福克岛与菲利普港的船只的关联数据尚未完善。

本船的集体传记索引收录于编号为"358.01"的目录中（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（HTML）：提供本数据集的"叙事式"浏览视图（index.htm）；
-- （结构化集体传记：人物与事件）XML/TEIp5格式：文本编码倡议（Text Encoding Initiative P5）XML格式，为本数据集提供底层XML数据库支持（index.xml）；
-- [暂未上线] （行列式平面文件）制表符分隔的简易囚犯姓名列表平面文件，适用于Excel、Stata、SPSS或数据库导入使用（index.tab）。详见下方说明。
