Data collection and currency
This online exhibition relies largely on data collected from 2012-16. In addition, material on women lawyers in the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Women's Register that had been collected before that time was also incorporated into the exhibition. Each of the entries in this online exhibition links back to the woman's entry in the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Women's Register. Unlike this exhibition, which is a point-in-time exhibition, the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Women's Register includes material, funding permitting, that updates information about the individuals. More up-to-date information on individuals in this exhibition post 30 June 2016 may appear in the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Women's Register entry for that individual.
