When the Otago Settlers Museum decided to celebrate Dunedin's 150th they asked their members to provide details on the first decendants to settle in the Otago Province. The information on the original Settlers was then collected and sorted by several methods. The first of which being the Surnames of the original settler and spouse. Information regarding the ship, or method of arrival, the birth dates and marriage records, as well a collection of details on their children where also collected. It was then my job to create an interactive database, in which this information could be sorted and view by the general public, when they visited the Museum.

The main focus of the Interactive Logbook (database) became two primary objects. Firstly an animated 3D globe to represent the world, and the diversity of locations from which people travelled. The second object was that of the Settlers Logbook, animated with turning pages and a bookmark to the Searcher this was the primary source of viewing the information that members, and later the general public provided to the project. Having first started the project family photographs have also been added, and it continues to draw attention from visitors to the Museum.
