Billion Graves venture

Had trouble with Trove newspapers loading in edit mode so decided to take my tissues and my phone to one of Darwin's lesser known cemeteries; the Darwin Chinese Cemetery. The app downloaded fine and I watched a short tutorial just to make sure I did the process justice.
You can see the photos I took on the Billion Graves site at http://www.billiongraves.com/pages/cemeteries/Darwin+Chinese+Cemetery/151240

The only problem I encountered was the linking function; I made the mistake of linking photos to become part of a series and I wasn't consistent I will have to go back in and edit what I have linked so the images as a group make more sense.
I imagine this process would result in some amazing 'just in time' conservation of headstones from around the world.This is a tool I will use again, I think it has great socila value.

  1. this is great! I went down the TROVE avenue and now I'm wishing I had tried my hand at Billion Graves (though I suppose it's not too late. This is really interesting and would be great for historical societies etc.
    I like that you were able to pick up on the areas where you went 'wrong' - this just goes to show you that you're getting a handle on it all.
    You've inspired me to go out and give it a try.
