An initiative of the Seniors Group, and commenced in 2001 by Brian McCloskey and Bill Moore, the Pathfinders project records the names of all surveyors "Appointed, Licensed or Registered" since 1788 by the Government in NSW, and where available, includes their biographical details.
Stage 1 of the project included the compilation of an electronic database of a single list of all the names of over 4,750 surveyors, with available details of those surveyors. Stage 1 was completed in July 2005, and was officially launched in CD format by the NSW Minister for Lands at a function at the Mitchell Library on 1 August 2005.
Stage 2 currently underway, now includes over 6,650 individual pages of information recorded on 4,850 Surveyors and expands on an almost daily basis.
The project continues to seek contributions about the careers and general biographical information about all included surveyors. Contributions are sought from any surveyor who has not yet provided his or her details, or details about any other surveyor who is unable to make their own contribution. People who are not surveyors could also make contributions about surveyors who they know or about whom they have suitable information.
