Helping Hands
Jenni Järvinen
Jenni gathered information from the judgement books from the 18th and 19th centuries about certain sales contracts, in Finnish titled syytinkisopimus. The purpose of these contracts was generational transition of farms and crofts in Finnish countryside, and they included the right-of-occupancy on the estate and some kind of pension for the sellers, depending on the terms of the contract.
Matleena Tuomisto
Matleena worked for the project during the summer of 2018, predominantly typing up vaccination records from the church registers. She did her bachelor's thesis on human evolution, and went on to do her master's project with the Myanmar Timber Elephant Project.
