July was a momentous month for this site with the last of the chapters, the Interstate Championships, migrated over this site. This has been a significant task made possible by the superb work of web designer Hope Stewart. Thank you Hope.

Whilst this work dominated our endeavours this month, updates to other chapters continued including to the Interstate Championships, Under 23 World Championships, Rower Profiles, and school regattas. Access to Sydney High School records have been very helpful in filling gaps in many early GPS regatta results and this work continues. More on this next month. Finally, more historical photos are being added to the Australian Rowing Images website regularly. This is becoming another important historical source.

This month this site had added a new chapter on World Rowing Coastal Championships given the elevation of the Beach Sprints into the Olympic program.

We also continued the updating of many chapters including ................................

However the focus this month was on 1986, with regatta program and result sheets added for both the Interstate and National Championships for that year and updated the information available on the 1986 regattas. The big task for 1986 was the scanning of the Hebfotos collections for the 1986 Australian Rowing Championships and the 1986 Australian Universities Championships. These are now available on the Australian Rowing Images website. We now have over 75,000 historical rowing images on this site.

The idea for this history originated from the Olympic Rowing and World Senior Rowing Championship histories written by Andrew Guerin and Margot Foster in 1991, 1992 & 1993 for the Australian team handbooks. Andrew Guerin developed and extended these histories to the current format in 2004 for publication in 2004 and then expanded the site.

Steve Roll has been an invaluable contributor to the website in locating errors and finding Christian names of rowers. His superb work is acknowledged.
