Are you interested in a startup collaborative online project to look at, partially transcribe and understand three ship account books from the 1620s and 1630s? You have come to the right place. Marine Lives is launching a new project and is seeking volunteer collaborators. This will be a project about co-creation of a public resource, which will be published on the Marine Lives wiki and made available to all - public and academic historians alike (and those just intrigued by our past).<br />
----<br />
==HCA 30/636 document category==<br />
<br />
HCA 30/636 is a document category which has been created to cover certain papers generated by the Prize Court jurisdiction of the English High Court of Admiralty papers. It contains nine sub-references. We have imaged all the documents within HCA 30/636 and will be making these available to volunteer collaborators online. Documents include three beautifully leather bound account books of various sizes, further paper bound account books, a letter copy book of letters written from on board ship, and various miscellaneous accounting documents relating to multiple voyages. In all we have over one thousand images.<br />
<br />

'''We are compiling a running list of C17th ship account books - all languages. Please [http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/C17th_ship_account_books_-_running_list take a look and contact us if you have comments or additions to this list].'''<br />

==Commercial record keeping==<br />
<br />
'''Ship account books represent just one type of commercial record created by and used by mariners.'''<br />

==Project description==<br />
<br />
We are in start up mode. Our current thinking is to make the images available on DropBox or OneDrive and to use this MarineLives wiki as our collaboration platform - to share ideas, to provide support, and to be the vehicle to publish our transcriptions and synthesis. But we are open to your ideas about how to organise this project and nothing will be finalised until we have our team in place. You can get up to speed on our thinking by [https://twitter.com/Marinelivesorg/status/1448320605384753156 reading this Twitter Thread.]<br />
<br />
We have had expressions of interest from people from many places - Mexico, Michigan, Texas, London, Newcastle to list a few - which is perfect given the virtual nature of our project and the broad geographic scope of the papers which include multiple voyages from England to the West Indies, the Mediterranean and to Northern Europe.<br />
<br />
This is going to be a very relaxed project running through to the middle of 2022 in which people are welcome to dip in and out, and to do as little or as much as they have time and interest for.<br />
----<br />
==Project launch==<br />
<br />
'''We have sent an email to everyone who has expressed this interest this weekend (Sunday, October 17th 2021), and have invited people addressed in that email to take a look at some sample images and to tell us about their research interests, skills and ideas for this project.<br />
<br />
'''We are doing a soft project launch between now and Thursday, November 18th, when we will launch the project with a one hour ZOOM call for confirmed volunteers. The ZOOM call is planned for midday (EST), 5.pm (London), 6 pm (Germany) on Thursday, November 18th 2021.'''<br />
<br />
'''In the meantime, the project leader ([http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/User:ColinGreenstreet Colin Greenstreet]) will contact each volunteer for a short (15-20 minute) chat about their research interests, and to induct them into basic wiki skills. If you want to learn the basics on the wiki side, [http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/Tools:_Basic_wiki_skills_%26_palaeographical_tips click here for a quick wiki primer].'''<br />
<br />
'''The project will run from now until the middle of 2022, with the Marine Lives wiki as the principal platform for publishing the results of our collective research.'''<br />

==Input from volunteers prior to our launch meeting==<br />
<br />
'''We have created a new wiki page for volunteers to tell us a little about their research interests, and what they would like to get out of the Marine Lives Ship Account Book project. You can access this page by [http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/Volunteer_research_interests_and_goals Volunteer research interests and goals clicking the link here]'''<br />
<br />
'''In the next few days we will be giving all volunteers editorial access to our wiki, and will be giving you a ten minute lesson in how to add wiki content, how to make simple edits, and how to add a new page of your own.'''<br />
<br />
'''So when we get together for the first time on October 18th, 2021, for our one hour launch ZOOM meeting, we will have started each of us to become familiar with using the main publication and collaboration platform for this project - the Marine Lives wiki.'''<br />
