Help us to preserve our Australian legal heritage
Over the centuries, the legal profession has always led in the preservation and enhancement of the judicial record. The emergence of the digital age presents new opportunities. BarNet's OpenLaw is committed to making it possible for the Australian legal profession to continue this important work through a series of digitisation projects. We need your assistance.
The Project
We originally started in July 2010, and recommenced in November 2011, June 2012, and January 2013. We will aim to digitise the first one hundred volumes of the Commonwealth Law Reports over the next three months. We have a firm completion date of October 2013 and we have already scanned or are in the process of having scanned all 101 volumes (volume 4 is in two parts due to its size).
Examples of the volumes are already available on JADE. There are already 78 volumes available on JADE.
The project will digitise decisions of the High Court of Australia published in the CLRs from 1905 to 1959, being decisions of the Court from the commencement of the sittings of the Court in 1903, to about 1959.
The Plan
Using specialised equipment, expert assistance from archivists and librarians, and scanning only from first editions, we are creating accurate archival quality images of every page of every volume of the first 100 CLRs. From this, we produce high quality fully searchable PDFs and ePUB versions for legal professionals. You will be able to take these facsimile CLRs with you on your iPad, Android, Kindle, eBook Reader, laptop, or other device. The entire volume will be scanned checked and corrected, including the errata pages and indices.
The activity will result in openly accessible legal material
The scans and the corrected text will be available on JADE to legal and other scholars. The JADE research platform provides sophisticated search facilities as well as annotiation and other library tools for online legal research. BarNet will provide full access to the one to 100 project results to Court Libaries, the National Library of Australia, and State and Territory Supreme Court Libraries, and others.
Within JADE, you will be able to search the text of these decisions and see how these decisions have been considered in later decisions. The one to 100 project will preserve the original published version for use incuding page breaks making accurate citation possible.
An example (Chanter v Blackwood 1 CLR 39)
We are making this material available in JADE after quality assurance.
Here is an example of Chanter v Blackwood [1904] HCA 2; 1 CLR 39. You will notice that the pages are linked to JADE's CaseTrace service. Also, you will note that later courts have referred to the summary of argument. For example, at [222] of Sue v Hill [1999] HCA 30; 199 CLR 462; 73 ALJR 1016; 163 ALR 648, Gaudron J refers to the summary of argument (page 43).
Why are we doing this?
Modern scanning facilities provide the opportunity to produce truly archival quality reproductions of this historic material. The results will provide material equivalent to paper versions including all material in the volumes - not just the case reports. The one to 100 project will deliver a significant advance on the quality and accessbility of presently available scans of these High Court decisions. We want to ensure that key online resources take advantage of the full possibilities of modern online legal research. Given the cost of backsets of reports and the library shelf space necessary to house them we think that the online version of the one to 100 reports will be a welcome addition to your library.
How to Contribute
Participating in this project is easy. We are seeking both financial and in-kind contributions. Please see our contribution page. If you wish, your contribution will be publicly acknowledged. The speed of the project is dependent upon your support. We must complete the project by 30 June 2013.
We recognise the work of the law reporters of these first one hundred volumes. Their names appear above.
