Hi Chris, that’s good news. I am currently half way through 1959. As far
as I know, 1960 and 1961 are being done (unless you know differently).
I need the missing pages from 1955 so I can finish that year and upload
it. I think I have mentioned that although I have uploaded 1957, there are
gaps where some pages were ripped.
Once that is all done, I am more than happy to help out with some more.
Regards Christine

Dear all,
I’ve received an email today from Tony Deadman, a volunteer at the Museum
of Farnham who has been scanning the index books. He has completed two more
volumes – one covering 1962 to 1966 and the second 1976 and 1977.
They are currently uploading to pCloud. Once that is done I will send
links to you so they can be downloaded.
I propose Patsy and Rosemary now take on the 1962-66 volume and Karen
makes a start on 1976-77, unless you’d like to share them differently.
However if there is anybody reading this that feels left out please shout
and I’m sure the others will we able to set you going on an individual year
of those. Tony tells me that he will now step up the pace and aim to scan a
volume a week! (Amazingly he is taking the photographs with his mobile
phone and then stitching the book images back together!)
I’m sorry to say whoever takes on the 76-77 volume will have to deal with
some of my handwriting but at least I should be able to advise you what I
think I wrote!
My prototype database made with your hard work now totals 5,340 records
and works fine (I’ve already used it to answer a couple of queries). Has
anybody else tried it yet? You can find it at
https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=kZ38y4XZ6mbfsPShyPmcgFAIDqqRp7xx4Bfy
along with the software to open it.
As I say the files are now uploading and it tells me that will take two
hours so don’t expect the links until later this evening.
Hopefully that will keep everybody busy for the rest of this lockdown 😉
Chris
