Queensland State Archives	Don't worry about the blue ticks - the most important parts are all the words :). Many thanks	93	Correspondence Between Sydney May And F.J Watson Concerning Aboriginal Place Names (ITM489477)	First Nations Language Collection	about 2 years ago
L.Vink	Just started on this group of papers. I have no idea how to transcribe the blue ticks that are everywhere on this, and the following pages.	93	Correspondence Between Sydney May And F.J Watson Concerning Aboriginal Place Names (ITM489477)	First Nations Language Collection	about 2 years ago

L.Vink	same as previous pate (188). I struggled with the hand writing, and everything needs to be checked.	189	Correspondence from the Home-Secretary, Home Department to all protectors of Aborigines regarding a survey on Aboriginal place names, Adavale - Yungaburra (ITM489478)	First Nations Language Collection	about 2 years ago
L.Vink	I have put the entire table in square brackets, to avoid repeating them. I found this hand writing difficult to read, and struggled with every Indigenous words. so the entire table needs to be checked.	188	Correspondence from the Home-Secretary, Home Department to all protectors of Aborigines regarding a survey on Aboriginal place names, Adavale - Yungaburra (ITM489478)	First Nations Language Collection	about 2 years ago
L.Vink	not sure where the horizontal lies in this table; I took a guess.	171	Correspondence from the Home-Secretary, Home Department to all protectors of Aborigines regarding a survey on Aboriginal place names, Adavale - Yungaburra (ITM489478)	First Nations Language Collection	about 2 years ago
L.Vink	Just letting you know that this page seems to be out of sequence, as it is dated 1939 when all the others are 1924. Don't know if it matters.	160	Correspondence from the Home-Secretary, Home Department to all protectors of Aborigines regarding a survey on Aboriginal place names, Adavale - Yungaburra (ITM489478)	First Nations Language Collection	about 2 years ago
Queensland State Archives	Looks great - thanks	88	Correspondence from the Home-Secretary, Home Department to all protectors of Aborigines regarding a survey on Aboriginal place names, Adavale - Yungaburra (ITM489478)	First Nations Language Collection	about 2 years ago
L.Vink	I cheated, and reduced the table by grouping some of the text in the 3rd column into less rows. I also didn't know how to do the line that goes across all columns, so I added an Asterix instead. I apologise if that was not what was required.	88	Correspondence from the Home-Secretary, Home Department to all protectors of Aborigines regarding a survey on Aboriginal place names, Adavale - Yungaburra (ITM489478)	First Nations Language Collection	about 2 years ago

bevmilasas	Uncertain how to record the red (handwritten?) writing	39	Correspondence from the Home-Secretary, Home Department to all protectors of Aborigines regarding a survey on Aboriginal place names, Adavale - Yungaburra (ITM489478)	First Nations Language Collection	about 2 years ago

L.Vink	I'm not sure if I am going the right thing by creating a table in these cases. I have done it before. I think it would be too confusing to read if I left it without the table-lines. Please let me know if this is wrong, so I don't continue doing it...	22	Correspondence, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander: Other Departments - Miscellaneous (ITM336560_15-0273)	First Nations Language Collection	over 2 years ago
Queensland State Archives	I suggest going with the tables. It's much neater, sets things out where they need to be, and doesn't mess things up like trying to do all the spacing. Thanks for your efforts	4	Correspondence, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander: Other Departments - Miscellaneous (ITM336560_15-0273)	First Nations Language Collection	over 2 years ago
Queensland State Archives	Your table looks fine to me - well done. You can always check it by saving, then going to the Overview tab - this will show you how things are looking.

Queensland State Archives	To be honest, I'm not sure yet how to do the diacritical marks - looks like you're doing a great job. And yes please, if there's only a surname. We may be able to link it to something else later. Thanks	22	Correspondence Between Sydney May And F.J Watson Concerning Aboriginal Place Names (ITM489477)	First Nations Language Collection	over 2 years ago
Queensland State Archives	Yes please include the Mr - this will at least differentiate from anyone with any other title. And I think you've done an amazing job with the word kabarla - thank you!	21	Correspondence Between Sydney May And F.J Watson Concerning Aboriginal Place Names (ITM489477)	First Nations Language Collection	over 2 years ago

L.Vink	I have encountered some duplicates in this lot of papers, mostly what I believe are carbon copies.

daravenh	If there is only a surname, is it to be double bracketed?	22	Correspondence Between Sydney May And F.J Watson Concerning Aboriginal Place Names (ITM489477)	First Nations Language Collection	over 2 years ago

daravenh	Also the word "kâ'bārla" - how should it be transcribed?	21	Correspondence Between Sydney May And F.J Watson Concerning Aboriginal Place Names (ITM489477)	First Nations Language Collection	over 2 years ago
daravenh	On the second name mentioned, Mr. Davies, should the double brackets include "Mr."?	21	Correspondence Between Sydney May And F.J Watson Concerning Aboriginal Place Names (ITM489477)	First Nations Language Collection	over 2 years ago

Queensland State Archives	Thanks	page_0237	Correspondence, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander - Enquiries Native Words	First Nations Language Collection	about 3 years ago
Queensland State Archives	I would actually enter this one as Auther - but agree it was probably a misspelling :)	page_0198	Correspondence, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander - Enquiries Native Words	First Nations Language Collection	about 3 years ago
Queensland State Archives	The /50 is referring to the year :). Thanks for helping out our project	page_0255	Correspondence, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander - Enquiries Native Words	First Nations Language Collection	about 3 years ago
Cursivefancier	It looks like HMS/CB to me.	page_0237	Correspondence, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander - Enquiries Native Words	First Nations Language Collection	about 3 years ago
Cursivefancier	Sorry that I forgot about the spacing! I'm still new at this.	page_0255	Correspondence, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander - Enquiries Native Words	First Nations Language Collection	about 3 years ago
Cursivefancier	Daisy probably meant Arthur Murdoch, just as she misspelt "hoping" for "hopping".	page_0198	Correspondence, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander - Enquiries Native Words	First Nations Language Collection	about 3 years ago
Cursivefancier	Line 3, "/ 50" could mean the year, 1950, or could mean page 50. "Gen'l" in Line 5 means "general".	page_0255	Correspondence, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander - Enquiries Native Words	First Nations Language Collection	about 3 years ago
