Goals
MarineLives is an innovative academic/public history hybrid for the collaborative transcription, linkage and enrichment of primary manuscripts, which were originated in the High Court of Admiralty, London, 1650-1669. The end product will be a publicly and freely available online academic edition under a CC by 3.0 licence. It is run as a not-for-profit organisation. For further information see our blog The Shipping News.

Leadership and Advisory Team
MarineLives is led and advised by an all volunteer leadership and advisory team. It has two co-directors.

Colin Greenstreet is co-founder and co-director of the project. Decidedly not an academic, he studied human sciences, philosophy, politics and economics at the University of Oxford, and was the recipient of a Kennedy Scholarship to study at Harvard Business School. His career has been spent in finance, consulting, pharmaceutical R&D, and as an entrepreneur, most recently in Mumbai and London. Somehow he never got round to studying history.

Jill Wilcox is co-founder and co-director of the project. Jill's passion for family history led her to complete a history degree at the University of Hertfordshire as a mature student. Subsequently, she has spent thirteen years as a high school teacher and head of department. She has recently completed a MEd in leading teaching and learning at the University of Cambridge. Throughout her career Jill has used technology to engage and assist her students in their learning.

Other members of our leadership and advisory team include Philip Hnatkovich (Early Modernist and PhD candidate, Penn State); Alex Jackson (a London based museum educationalist with a masters in Public History); Dr Charlene Eska (Assistant Professor, Virginia Tech); Giovanni Colavizza (Research Assistant, École Polytéchnique Féderale de Lausanne, who has done all our coding as well as being a great historian); and Dr Richard Blakemore (Associate Research Fellow, University of Exeter, England). We have also benefited in the past from the involvement of William Tullett (PhD candidate, who is doing a fascinating dissertation on the history of smell at King's College, London, England), and from Dr Stuart Dunn (Lecturer, Centre for e-research, King's College, London, England)
