Hi Pam Thanks for writing the News of the the day, I was very interested in the W H CLARK information. I would love you to continue with the snippets, never know what we may find Cheers Lorraine Key

Thanks Denise! I now have the complete picture in my head!

Jenny I too have a scanner which scans film and slides - I have tried to scan film, have been only mildly successful but I think that is my own fault. However be careful of copyright if you are going to scan and use in a publication. Copyright can still exist and you must seek permission of the paper concerned, be it owned by the same company or another after a take over. Chris and I had to seek permission of a couple of newspapers two years ago when we did a book on the Upper Murray - which still lingers completed in our files but will be released soon. The pros and Cons of cutting up or not cutting up the film for consideration of those interested - Fiche Pockets - Cutting is time consuming but only the once (g). Put a sticker on the pocket so you know the date of the film inside. The beauty of cutting is that you can refer to any given date in a minute and have the information you want. HOWEVER, never ever drop the lot on the floor if you have not dated! I have 3 years of the Federal Standard undated, and which at some time were dropped on the floor. What a mess, no date, so I have not sorted them out. to do so would mean insert the fiche pocket into the reader, then date, then sort. Hundreds of the things! Film on rolls - simple way to go or so it seems. I merely let the film I"ve read drop over the back of my desk onto the floor as it comes out of the reader and where it stays out of the way until I have finished and need to re-roll manually. This takes maybe 3 minutes to do. HOWEVER, as soon as you have re-rolled the film you always have to unroll it, check something or go back for something missed. Unroll the film all over the floor until you get to the date. Get your information and then start to re-roll. Untangled the dog, unwrap the chair legs, don't trip yourself and make sure no one walks on it. Then re-roll - 3 minutes for a small item you needed. HOWEVER - every single minute is worth it in the long run for your own research. Chris - the Federal Standard is one also where you need to stand on your head, on the desk, sideways , twisting your neck with your arms between your legs and type at the same time....tad tiring. One must call for help after an hour to be untangled and dropped on the floor then ironed out flat. No, not the film, me. Thankfully the OMA is up the right way. D

Hi Denise, I was having a blank moment when I resorted to 'thingy'. A better word may be spindle. A simple devise made from pine for base, and the uprights to hold the spindles. What has set me back is how to manage the spindle and handle in one. They invariably fall apart so mine had a very short operating life. A handier person could make a success of it I imagine. And yes, I've never worked out how to avoid getting a tired arm winding it back on to the left spindle. Have any of the handier listers worked out how to successfully attach a turning arm to the spindle? Denise when you say you cut yours and put them in pockets are we talking A4 clear protector sort of pockets? And while we're on the subject, has anyone worked out a way to successfully digitise newspaper film? I have a new whizz bang scanner that is supposed to do this but haven't mastered it yet.

I was interested to read of the 'thingys' idea, have you tried this? This would surely mean that you would have to re-wind the film from the right hand side of the reader back to the original reel so that the film would be at the beginning of each year. Not a bad idea, but it doesn't take much time to re-wind it by hand. Not trying to put your idea down by any means in fact I would be interested in hearing how other people tackle this. As for the lens size I've never had any trouble reading the size of the print, it is much larger than the newspapers today. The only problem would be that the film itself is poor quality - which the manufacturer actually says on the roll from time to time. And then the bulb will blow in the midst of a wonderful piece (g). One idea I tried is cutting the film so that it fits into pockets. I get two pieces into a pocket, date it and put into a card box. It is very easy to find a date should you have to go back to the film for a check up at any time. However the initial couple of hours required to cut and slip into pockets may not appeal to everyone. I now just use the roll method. Whatever method, or what ever machine you use, it's well worth it.

Hi Anthony & Ronda, Have you considered just making a simple frame from timber with two turning thingys at each end that sit at either side of your fiche reader in the style of a 'real' film reader? Then run the film through your microfiche reader. Wouldn't recommend it for fast rewind though! And too much use of the film will eventually damage it using this method as there aren't nice soft rollers to guide it but if you are careful it should work. Of course the lens size on your fiche reader may need to be changed (or use a dual lens reader) to enable you to view the film.

Wendy, I had a good day on Wednesday at the Archives. With the assistance of a very helpful research assistant we found two items which I believe are relevant to your search. Item 1 SS Cumberland striking a mine on 6/7/17 off Gabo; beaching of, near Gabo; salvage of; and subsequent sinking; Court of Inquiry held etc. Location: Melbourne. Item 2 Charles Newman (Neuman) [2.00 cms] {this is a big file!} Location: Melbourne. For full copies it is indicated that both files will be treated as a standard item which costs about $25 I think. I will send you the file details off list with some hints for their site.

Hello Denise, Thanks for this snippet. Mary of Melbourne ----- Original Message ----- From: "Denise" <denisem@powerup.com.au> To: <AUS-VIC-HIGH-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2006 9:29 PM Subject: [HC] MM - Temple Bar Hotel 16.4.1863 The friends of the late Mr John Williams of the Temple Bar Hotel are respectfully invited to follow his remains to the Beechworth Cemetery. The funeral procession will leave the above hotel this day at 3 pm. James Kyle Undertaker Mary - I noticed that Mrs. Williams married 13.9.1863 MARRIED – PHILLIPS – WILLIAMS – On the 13th instant at Beechworth by the Rev. W. L.C. Howard, Mr. W. Phillips of Ford street to Mrs. Maria Williams of the Temple Bar Hotel I thought perhaps this may give you a time frame for Harry perhaps buying the Temple Bar, although at the end of 63 Phillips couple were still in the TB Hotel.
