Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to know to help?

You don't need any specialised knowledge to take part in this project. All we ask for is your patience and an interest in the history of Victorian London.

What will the data I'm collecting be used for?

The data you provide us will be used to construct a database linking the many inhabitants of the East End you identify to the places and times which will be able to be mapped and displayed as a large interconnected network of individuals.

Where can I go for help?

If you ever need help we encourage you to ask a question in the 'Talk' forum of the project where team members and other contributors can provide assistance.
