Joanna Crandell and Elinor "Lin" Sullivan, founders of Orders in Council Database (OCD). The database contains photographs and indexes of names of over 1,000 Orders in Council to make accessible the information about 57,000 non-British immigrants approved to come to Canada between 1930 and 1960. They also found information about 20,000 of their sponsors in Canada. All the names are listed on their first website at www.orderincouncillists.com
 
 In addition, they photographed and indexed the names contained in over 90 Orders in Council to make accessible the information about 800 women and children permitted to leave Canada by ship during the Second World War. The names are listed on their second website at www.exitpermits1942-1946.com
