GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) Workbench

Thanks, Marcia Watson, for alerting us to the GLAM Workbench. It’s revealed that my paternal great-grandfather was a feminist! In 1894, he signed the South Australian Women’s Suffrage Petition, which was then passed by that State’s  Parliament, making South Australia the first electorate in the world to give equal political rights to both men and women.

I found this information using the name indexes developed by Dr Tim Sherratt as part of his GLAM (= Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) Workbench project.

For more information about the 253 datasets indexed, see the GLAM data portals section of the GLAM Workbench at: https://glam-workbench.net/glam-data-portals/

And there are more GLAM Workbench search indexes on Dr Sherratt's site, such as :

• NSW Post Office Directories
• Sydney Telephone Directories
• Tasmanian Post Office Directories
