A WORK IN PROGRESS

I have been working on VIE Esperance for about 1 month now: I'm not expecting many readers for any of this, but hope that the few who do, will enjoy reading the newspaper articles as much as myself, without the added labour of trawling though Trove looking for relevant material.

 * A few weeks spent identifying relevant articles in Trove, with almost 100 articles now text corrected in digitised newspapers and about 20 articles in the Commonwealth Gazette.
 * I have looked on the National Archives of Australia website and there is a lot of material there (mostly policy background, a little on the specific station), but hardly anything digitized, so may await a later revision.
 * There are some lovely books and websites on the overall topic of the Coastal Radio Service, but surprisingly little detail on the specific station and in any event I am reluctant to take other authors work and simply reword it.
 * I have made a start using Zotero, the referencing software. I haven't needed this previously as Trove makes citations so very easy. As the project grows, Zotero may help with co-ordination and consistency, but presently a minor overhead.
 * Presently transcribing the Trove newspaper articles into Wikibook format. This phase is nearing completion. With luck completed today. Then will move on to transcribing the Commonwealth Gazette articles, hopefully complete within a week. At that stage will "copy, paste and trim" into new Wikipedia article similar to that done for VIN Geraldton.
