So much has happened in the lives of the millions of people who have lived in Western Australia that all the libraries of the world would not be enough to house the books that would have to be written to record every detail.[1]

Topic Team Pages

Goals

Our main goal is to ensure that all Western Australian profiles are of a high standard, as complete as possible, with sources, and connected to the global tree.

Other Goals

  • Add profiles for the traditional indigenous land owners, settlers, and pioneers
  • Categorisation; making sure categories have CIB's and are in the correct hierarchy structure. We need a categorisation team?
  • Improving profiles by adding sources, adding biographies, connecting, and clearing up data problems and suggestions.
  • Creating special interest topic teams (e.g. sappers and miners, Enrolled Pensioner Force, Group settlement scheme, Parkhurst boys, or any other special interest topics)

Task List

Volunteers Needed

If you'd like to help out and don't already have your own pet projects to work on, here are some ideas:

  • Data Doctors Suggestions These are mostly broken links at this point, but not a bad activity if you need a break from thinking too hard.
  • Add and categorise profiles for all the people that arrived to Western Australia on the earlier ships (1829-1850). Here is a list of those arrivals, and further down you'll find links to the Bicentennial Dictionary and shipping lists.

Profile Creation and Biography Building

Sticker Templates

These templates can be used on profiles by copy the text including brackets and pasting directly under the biography heading on a profile, and this will result in the corresponding image.

How do I join the team? My family has been in WA for a long time and I’m working on matching/adding/linking the 700 odd family members from my private family tree into the Wikitree! Have a keen interest in Kalgoorlie and the Wheatbelt with many ancestors scattered through these areas.
