FAS Convict Ship 364.28 Rajah arrived 1841 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 "Rajah" at Van Diemen's Land on 1841-07-19

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): Rajah
* sailed date : 1841-04-05 from Woolwich
* arrival date : 1841-07-19
* population (per Bateson's The Convict Ships): Embarked:190 Women ; Relanded:10; Deaths:1 Women ; Landed:179(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 "364.28" (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名单与详实的生平资料，可精准识别1841年7月19日在范迪门地（Van Diemen's Land）由“拉杰号”（Rajah）流放船卸下的所有流放犯。

其中包含已知的出生年份、出生地、定罪地点与时间、判决结果、抵达殖民地日期以及流放犯抵达时的年龄等信息。本数据集提供的流放犯简要生平资料，可作为索引，检索由“创始者与幸存者项目”（Founders and Survivors）构建的集体传记数据库中收录的海量流放犯人生轨迹事件。

本流放船的基本信息如下：
* VDL记录中所用船名：拉杰号（Rajah）
* 启航日期：1841年4月5日，从伍尔维奇（Woolwich）出发
* 抵达日期：1841年7月19日
* 人员统计（引自贝茨顿所著《流放船》（The Convict Ships））：登船人数：190名女性；中途重新登船：10人；死亡：1名女性；在范迪门地登陆人数：179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”认定的该流放船“基准群体”数据源。本数据集的叙事版内容中，详细说明了多源数据整合的方法与关联规则。目前，针对塔斯马尼亚流放犯的多源资料匹配与关联工作仍在持续研究中。本数据集将定期更新，并将推出更多格式与专属用户界面，以吸纳公众参与流放犯资料匹配与关联的质量校验——例如可参阅本数据集的实验性关联页面（EXPERIMENTAL linkage.htm）。

针对抵达诺福克岛（Norfolk Island）与菲利普港（Port Philip）的流放船的资料关联工作尚未完善。

本流放船的集体传记索引收录于编号为“364.28”的目录中（该船的项目编号），共提供三种不同的文件格式：
—— （默认格式，适用于网页浏览）超文本标记语言（HTML）格式：本格式以“叙事视图”展示数据集内容，对应文件为index.htm；
—— （结构化集体传记：人物与事件）可扩展标记语言/TEIp5格式：即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数据库支持，对应文件为index.xml；
—— 【暂未上线】（行列式平面格式）以制表符分隔的平面文件，收录流放犯名单简表，适用于Excel、Stata、SPSS或数据库导入使用，对应文件为index.tab。详见下文附注。
