The CLIP finding aids and databases draw on information from many sources and the work of many individuals.
We are glad to acknowledge the hard work of our volunteers and the generous assitance of archives, archive staff and individuals
in making this information available. We hope that by bringing the data together in this way, we give greater effect to their work.
We have made every effort to identify all the organisations and individuals involved: if anybody is omitted,
please accept our apologies and let us know so that we can put it right.
Our special thanks to:
| Aubrey Brown |
who was not a CLIP volunteer but who started
all this by transcribing the Somerset records years ago and thus showed that it could be done. |
| Ken and Megan Edwards |
who transcribed the Bristol records
with the support of the Bristol and Avon Family History Society and agreed to their data
being incorporated into the CLIP crew names database |
| Mick O'Rourke |
with whom we collaborated to transcribe data
from the Mercantile Navy List for 1860 and who set
up the transcription database for that project.
