Let's get started


It was great to see such a good turn out at our launch meeting on the Warwick campus on Tuesday, November 21st 2017. Our next physical meeting will be on Tuesday, December 5th 2018, at 4 pm, with Dr Benjamin Redding facilitating the meeting in person and Colin Greenstreet co-facilitating by Skype. Details of the meeting location will be circulated by Dr Redding to participants.

In the meantime, it is time to get started with learning to read C17th notarial hands and you become familiar with the range of subject matter found in the High Court of Admiralty.

Colin Greenstreet is available to answer questions and to provide support to individual Warwick students at all times between our bi-weekly meetings. Just drop him an email, or skype him on colingreenstreet.marinelives.

Below are some actions we would like Warwick participants to do in preparation for next Tuesday's meeting.

Complete your short biographies


Please complete the online biographies each of you started at last Tuesday's launch meeting. We have moved the biographies to a new wiki page named Tools: Warwick biographies. There you will find the photographs you uploaded, together with the text your started writing.

Joshua, you may want to change your photograph from the test shot of mountains to something a more like yourself. Though to be fair, Colin has a shot of mountains in the background of his, together with a dog.

It would be good if each of you could add a couple of sentences as to what you would like to get out of the Warwick/MarineLives programme, any dissertation topics you are considering, and any particular historical interests you have. This will help us identify manuscript pages with content of particular relevance to your own interests, as we select material on which to work together.

If you need a reminder on how to upload photographs to the wiki and formatting basic wiki text, you can find instructions by clicking here.
