 '''ANSWER 4:'''
-* This is an interesting topic, which has been neglected by historians. It takes a lot of data to say anything meaningful about non-elite investment activities. And that's after you have got over the big hurdle and are considering that non-elite men and women may have been active investors. The SOLM-2024 database offers a unique and extensive set of data on private adventures by non-elite men (and some women) just waiting to be used by an innovative doctoral student or post-doctoral fellow. Do get in touch with us and we will guide yu through what we have already calendarized and what else exists in the 30 million plus set of English Admiralty Court depositions, 1570 to 1688, and how you can unlock these data.

 '''ANSWER 3:'''
-* We already have a good deal of information the SOLM-2024 database on medical care. We need to hear your research questions to help us expand this coverage. We have detailed descriptions of good and poor care by chirurgeons on board commercial ships, caring for both mariners and passengers at sea and in ports. We have estimates of the value of chirurgeon's chests, including instruments, books and medicaments. We have descriptions of medical certifiates being granted and refused according to the health of a ship's company, and ships being forced to quarantine when coming from ports known to be affected by the plague. We have descriptions of battles between ships and estimates of dead and wounded, together with injuries sustained by men in these battles.

 ===QUESTION 2: I have found several interesting short text extracts in the database which include references (for example HCA 13/58 f.8r). What do these references mean and how do I find an image and full transcription of the page from which the short text extracts come, so I that can check and contextualize the extracts?===
-'''ANSWER 2: [INSERT TEXT]'''
+'''ANSWER 2:'''
 * Let's start with the referencing system. "HCA" = "High Court of Admiralty". This was the top Admiralty Court in the Admiralty Court system in England in the C16th and C1th. For much of this period the Court was physically located in the Doctors Commons near Saint Paul's church. "HCA 13/58" refers to volume 58 in the HCA 13 series and follows the naming convention used by the National Archives at Kew, where the physical documents are stored and are viewable. Volume HCA 13/58 consists of witness statements or depositions submitted in the English High Court of Admiralty between the years 1642 and 1644. "f.8r" refers to the recto (front) side of the eighth folio in that specific volume.
