“This is the first split-hull hopper dredge specifically designed for the Corps,” said Matt Newborn, a naval architect with the Corps’ Marine Design Center (MDC) in Philadelphia and its representative at Conrad Industries in Morgan City, La., where the dredge was built. Murden, formerly in charge of the Corps’ dredging operations, is a 156-foot by 35-foot split-hull hopper dredge with a draft of five feet, designed to work the shallow inlets, rivers and marinas on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. Murden, named in honor of the late William R. Army Corps of Engineers moves a lot of dirt, and it has designed a new dredge with which to do it. Throughout history, shifting dirt from one place to another has consumed much of man’s energy and intelligence, resulting in ingenious, sometimes cruel, and often inventive solutions to the problem of moving huge quantities of material. The index now contains entries and was last updated on the. Continuation of the index from 1 January 2021 is being undertaken by State Library of South Australia cataloguing volunteer Deborah Gard.Īs of 2022 the Savill Index is being updated more frequently as it is now using modern web technologies that are not reliant on a monthly workflow process that was previously used to populate content. Gerald A Savill ceased compiling the index on 31 December 2020.
The manner of extracting information from the microfilm for the years 1971 to 2001, for various reasons did not make it possible for 100% accuracy, but I hope all users of these indexes are successful in obtaining the information sought. On 30 April 2014 the compiling was completed and when uploaded a continuous index, 1971 to 2013, had been created.Ĭompiling of the index continued to 31 December 2020, bringing to a close a 20 year project, during which time a 50 year index, 1971 to 2020, containing 468,068 entries had been completed. The launch of the index online by the State Library of South Australia on 7 January 2014 exposed the gap 1991 to 1996 which could not be uploaded, so an immediate start was made to index the funeral notices for those years. The indexes for the years 1997 to 2001 were compiled in the same manner, with the information obtained from microfilm, from which time they were updated on a daily basis directly from The Advertiser. In October 2003 the indexes for the years 1971 to 1990 were completed to fill the gap between the then last released official death notices and a summary of The Advertiser Death Notices for the years 1991 to 1996, which were available on microfiche. Initially an index of five years was compiled and donated to the State Library of South Australia, and due to positive feedback from library staff and a number of regular researchers, the work recommenced in January 2003. The compiling of these indexes commenced in January 2001 and approximately 370 days were spent at the State Library of South Australia extracting the necessary information from microfilm.
