research project using Ancestry's data, in conjunction with The
National Archives, and UCL.
Issues which will be discussed included
- Licensing requirements from Ancestry
- Security of data
- Ownership of research outcomes
- Management structure of a full scale project
- Financial structure of a full scale project
- Paths to dissemination and publicity
- Any other topics which participants suggest are relevant
The workshop was mostly be a discussion session, featuring input from
Ancestry.co.uk, The National Archives, UCL DIS, UCL Research Computing,
and Historians.
