I was particularly thinking of other types of organisations that may be dominated by seniors.

Years ago I thought a book. And then it evolved into an online presence. I think I make a better contribution and get greater satisfaction from this approach. My scope end date is 1853. Anything after that would be for curiosity’s sake I think. I try to fit the catalogue, maps, analysis, and narrative to work together. https://coombe.id.au/S_T_Gill/about.htm#Content

#S_T_Gill project update
I last left Gill in December 1851 in Adelaide. Like many others at the time he was contemplating the Victorian goldrush: https://coombe.id.au/S_T_Gill/S_T_Gill_May_to_December_1851.htm.
I'm now working on his early sketches and prints of diggings in 1852. Much to do: about 70 artworks and about 6 webpages with mutual cross-references. It's going well but I can see this part taking another couple of months. #colonialArtAU
