Inhalt:
This note describes the development of a system for indexing historical data from the whaling / sealing industry of last century, allowing easier access to the widely scattered record in logbooks, customs records, newspapers, etc. A preliminary outline of 'elephanting' operations was compiled with a view to indicating: a) the type of information available from the database, and b) the overall nature of the activities at Heard Island in the period 1854 to 1882. Elephanting commenced at Heard Island in 1854/55, the first season following the Island's discovery. There was a rapid rise to a peak in the 1857/58 season. An equally rapid decline was followed by a small but steady output over two decades. Production finished in 1877.
