FAS Convict Ship 364.16 Runnymede arrived 1840 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 "Runnymede" at Van Diemen's Land on 1840-03-28

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): Runnymede
* sailed date : 1839-12-20 from London
* arrival date : 1840-03-28
* population (per Bateson's The Convict Ships): Embarked:200 Men ; Landed:200(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 "364.16" (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.

本数据集收录完整的流放犯姓名列表与充足的生平信息，可精准识别1840年3月28日于范迪门地（Van Diemen's Land）从流放船"Runnymede"下船的所有流放犯。

若资料可查，信息涵盖出生年份估算值、出生地、定罪地点与时间、刑罚内容、抵达殖民地日期，以及流放犯抵达时的年龄。

本数据集收录的流放犯简要生平信息，可作为索引，用于检索由「创始者与幸存者项目」（Founders and Survivors project）构建的集体传记数据库中记录的大量更为详尽的人生轨迹事件。

该流放船的基本信息如下：
* 船舶名称（范迪门地档案记录所用名称）：Runnymede
* 启航日期：1839年12月20日，启航地为伦敦
* 抵达日期：1840年3月28日
* 人员规模（引自Bateson所著《流放船》（The Convict Ships））：登船人数：200名男性；抵达范迪门地人数：200名男性

本数据集收录的流放犯数据，源自「创始者与幸存者项目」认定的该船流放犯「基准群体」数据源。关于数据处理方法与多源数据关联的更多细节，详见本数据集的叙事说明部分。

针对塔斯马尼亚流放犯的额外数据源匹配与关联工作，目前仍在研究中。本数据集将定期以新增格式与专属用户界面重新发布，以邀请公众参与流放犯数据匹配与关联的质量优化工作——例如可参考本数据集的实验性关联HTML格式（EXPERIMENTAL linkage.htm）。

针对抵达诺福克岛与菲利普港的船舶的关联工作尚未完成。

该船的集体传记索引收录于名为"364.16"的目录中（即该船的项目编号）。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「叙事视图」展示本数据集（对应文件为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，TEI）第5版XML格式，为本数据集的底层XML数据库（对应文件为index.xml）；
-- [暂未开放]（行列式平面格式）：以制表符分隔的平面文件格式，包含流放犯姓名的简单列表，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。
