Summary[edit]

Description

The Measuring the ANZACs project brings together an international team of researchers, community connections around New Zealand’s military history from the Auckland War Memorial Museum, and the power of the Zooniverse community to explore, analyze, and digitize original World War I personnel files from Archives New Zealand.

Data gathered from Measuring the ANZACs will be used for three main purposes:

- To create a complete and rich index of persons who served in the New Zealand military in World War I and the South African War (also called the Second Boer War).

- To support academic research on the health of New Zealanders led by a team of researchers at the Universities of Minnesota, Guelph and Waikato.

- To provide an ongoing platform for historical and genealogical research on NZ’s World War I soldiers by citizens and scientists around the world.

Measuring the ANZACs builds on work done by Archives New Zealand to complete an organized digital collection of all the pages in the personnel files for people serving in the New Zealand military in South Africa and World War I. Complete copies of personnel files are available on www.measuringtheanzacs.org, the Archives New Zealand website (archives.govt.nz/world-war-one), and Discovering the ANZACs. They can be downloaded free of charge on the Archives New Zealand website.

All of the data collected by Measuring the ANZACs will be made freely available to the public for research. Periodic releases of the data will be released throughout the life of the project by the University of Minnesota and the Auckland War Memorial Museum. Researchers interested in data updates and discussing the extensive possibilities of research with the data are encouraged to contact the research team by email or on the Discourse discussion boards. When records have been created for all who served, complete open-sourced copies of the data will be available through the University of Minnesota, Archives New Zealand and the Auckland War Memorial Museum’s Cenotaph database.
