- Welcome – we will cover............ Happy to answer questions as we go or come and see us at the NLA stand after the talk. So the talk Tom and I are giving is in keeping with today’s theme and is about how to use the Library’s online resources to search your FH. To demonstrate, we have chosen to do a case study on a famous convict made good called Margaret Catchpole. She had a very colourful life which has been well documented and there are lots of online records for her. E.g. there are several biographies written about her from the 18 th and 19 th century which are available online and people are still writing about her today with a new history about to come out. There have also been a play and songs. In fact it was her 250 th birthday earlier this month. Pictures are from SLNSW and an illustrated biography written by Richard Cobbold the family she stole the horse from. It also contains copies of her letters she wrote to his family and others.
- The Australian Dictionary of Biography Online tells us that Margaret Catchpole lived from 1762 to 1819). She was convicted for stealing a horse and transported to Australia in 1801. She worked for various families. She was pardoned in 1814 and worked as a storekeeper, midwife and nurse. She is regarded as one of the few true convict chroniclers with an excellent memory and a gift for recording events. Her letters of 806 and 1809 are the only known eyewitness accounts of the Hawkesbury River floods of those years; she described graphically the countryside, the Aboriginals, and the wildlife; she wrote of the first convict coalminers at Coal River (Newcastle) and of the savagery and immorality of the inhabitants of the colony, and by her writings added richly to Australia's early history.
- In today’s talk Tom and I will cover... And not only resources available to view online, although there are many records which have been digitised or transcribed and made available to view online, we’ll also talk about how you can use our website, to find information held in our collection and other libraries and archives and also how to use our online guides and catalogue to plan your visit or contact us online to facilitate your research.
- Ask how many people are familiar with Trove? Other than the newspapers search service that the National Library offers? The service was released at the end of 2009 by the National Library of Australia . It is a free search service. Our aim is to make finding and getting information easier. The Trove service searches across a rich data repository which currently contains over 250 million items from over 1000 Australian libraries and other organisations, and it’s growing in size.
- 1. Firstly, and most importantly it is a single search. In one click you can simultaneously search across groups of information- books, journals, magazines and articles: images: australian digitised newspapers: diaries, letters, archives: maps: music, sound, video: archived websites, about people and organisations. 2. Secondly you can browse through these groups or zones one at a time if you prefer to only seek one type of content for example newspapers. 3. Thirdly you are able to restrict your searches to – online content only
- Margaret Catchpole gets a lot of results across nearly all zones.
- Result Margaret Catchpole - see that results are grouped into zones - see the facets down the side, can restrict on items based on type; e.g date; availability; language and Australian content Note that instead of a single search results list appearing the results are grouped into the same zones that we saw on the home page . You can see in each zone how many results are found. Most searches retrieve vast numbers of results because of the wealth and richness of the repository that is being searched. It is likely that you will want to refine or limit your search results and you can do this by using the facets on the left hand side of the screen. The facets change depending what content you are looking at, so for example the book, journal, magazine and article zone has a facet to refine by braille book or audio book.
- More results in zones
- More results zones. NOTE the List on the right hand side. Explain Lists function.
- As mentioned before, you are able to restrict your searches to – online content only, and/or content held in locations near to you. This is a very useful feature See the changes to the results lists in the various zones when this is done. Books went from 94 to 61. I am now going to drill down further into the results in some of the zones to show you some other features of the service, starting with the books. Let’s start with selecting the second book in the list about margaret catchpole. (Haithi trust - collaborative repository of digital content from research libraries )
- Allows you to flip through like reading a normal book.
- As mentioned, her letters are famous and they are part of an edited collection which are written about in this online article.
- Journal article about the book (which can be viewed online as well). Compilation of letters which provide personal narratives of Australia and social conditions - 1788-1900.
- If you want to refine your results to Online ones only, click Online link. Or a particular DECADE.
- The check boxes to restrict the content to online or anything else are always visible so that they can be checked or unchecked at any point in the search.

It is divided into sections for each Australian State and selected overseas countries.

- Today just focussing on a selection of those that are either freely available or can be used by registered National Library Readers simply logging into the National Library's eresources portal.

- You can access a wealth of English Newspapers via the Gale News Vault This service allows cross-searching of the Gale range of historical newspaper collections. Users can simultaneously search or browse across the Times Digital Archive, the 17th and 18th Century Burney Collection, the Financial Times Historical Archive, the 19th Century British Library Newspapers, the 19th Century UK Periodicals, and the Illustrated London News Historical Archive
- You can see here by simply searching for Margaret catchpole that we have 57 results across the newspapers in this collection. Like trove you can see where the search terms appear on the page An excellent newspaper for images is the Illustrated London News. Unfortunatly there aren't any image results for Margaret catchpole as the Illustrated London news is only available from 1842- 2003 & for obvious reasons I won’t do a search for the Nile.
- This is an example of what you might find in the Illustrated London News Here we have an excellent image of the Waterwitch in 1842
- This service brings together rare journals printed between 1685 and 1815, illuminating all aspects of eighteenth-century social, political and literary life. Many are ephemeral, lasting only for a handful of issues, others run for several years. Topics covered are extremely wide-ranging and include: colonial life; provincial and rural affairs; the French and American revolutions; reviews of literature and fashion throughout Europe; political debates; and London coffee house gossip and discussion. Again this is accessible via our eResources portal What we can see here is the results for a search of Catchpole and assizes assizes , were periodic criminal courts held around England and Wales until 1972, when they were abolished by the Courts Act 1971 and replaced by a single permanent Crown Court . The assizes heard the most serious cases What this provides is a report of the trial of Margaret Catchpole.
- The Proceedings of the Old Bailey is a fully searchable database detailing the lives of non-elite people which contains accounts of over 197,700 criminal trials held at London's central criminal court. Freely available Can search by punishment, time period, offence, alias, name, verdict, keywords
- An example of what you can find in PoOB is the Trial of ANN LEMON for the offence of Deception > fraud, 17th February 1796. Offence: Deception > fraud Verdict: Guilty 226.
