Disasters Project | How to Categorise Disasters
We use category information boxes on all category pages relating to disasters.
Categories are linked to three branches of the category structure:
- Disasters by country
- Disasters by type
- Country
The basic category structure for disasters, using England and a mining disaster as an example, is as follows:
- Disasters
- England, Disasters
- Cornwall, Disasters
- Cornwall, Mining Disasters
- Levant Tin Mine Disaster, Pendeen, Cornwall, 1919
- Cornwall, Mining Disasters
- England, Mining Disasters
- Cornwall, Mining Disasters
- Levant Tin Mine Disaster, Pendeen, Cornwall, 1919
- Cornwall, Mining Disasters
- Cornwall, Disasters
- Mining Disasters
- England, Mining Disasters

- Levant Tin Mine Disaster, Pendeen, Cornwall, 1919
- Cornwall, Mining Disasters
- England, Mining Disasters
- England, Disasters
- England
- England, Disasters
- England, Mining Disasters
- England, Disasters
...
The landing category also links to the place name category:
- Pendeen, Cornwall
- Levant Tin Mine Disaster, Pendeen, Cornwall, 1919
Please note: ONLY the victims themselves will be categorised. Others involved in the disaster, including family members, will not be categorised, although, of course, the narrative of their involvement can be included in their biographies. Space pages relating to disasters will be categorised.
