Member folder - a collection of reports

The Member Folder is our documentation of the knowledge we have gained through literature studies, through our network of specialists from museums and universities, studies at the National Museum in Copenhagen and in its department in Brede (conservation). Likewise, the results of experiments, manufacturing of smaller parts from the find were noted in the Member Folder.
Initially, each new member was given their own copy of the Membership Directory and subsequently sent updates as they were written. The cost of this was covered by the membership fee. As the postage went up and up, it became too much of a burden on the guild's finances.
To ensure that the hard work that has gone into compiling the Membership Folder is not lost, the material is now made available to everyone.

The articles in the Members' Folder are from studies of literature, experiments with the necessary woodworking techniques and calculations to understand the boat's properties, as well as reports from the National Museum and our experiments with the properties of the finished boat.
There are also articles on modifications to the boat as a result of our experiences, especially where the findings do not provide answers, such as the rudder systems. There are also articles on boat maintenance.

As mentioned in Organisation, we divided into a number of working groups (9). One member from each group reported on the results achieved on the first Monday of each month at a members' meeting so that everyone was informed.

Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

The documents below are scanned from our physical documents on paper. The originals are of very different designs, a few are handwritten, some on typewriters - they used to exist - most on computer printers. Some in A4 portrait format, others in landscape format.
The scan is attempted to be done as an OCR scan (Optical Character Recognition), when successful, it will be possible to search the text and, therefore, there should be a possibility to translate the text into another language with a translator programme, such as DeepL. Attempts will be made to rotate the text so that it can be read in a normal upright sitting position.
As the documents are scanned, they are added to the archive and the links are made active.
All links open as a PDF document in a new window/tab.

Most articles are written in Danish and a few in English.
