Dear Doug,
Peter maintains a list of indexers, along with their contact details.
There are others that do not index but help by being lookup volunteers and
collecting information to index.
With indexers that are current, and others that have retired for one
reason or another it is in the vicinity of 300, but about 100 on the go at
the moment in some shape or form. Some daily, some weekly and others submit
multiple days occasionally. Some papers have lots of entries and other
little papers often have no entries, but the indexer still has to look for
the information which can be time consuming in some of the papers.
Increases in the number on the index are well in excess of 10,000 weekly
and that varies by up to a couple of thousand, but it has been a long time
since the number of submissions in one week was less than 10,000.
Thanks to the efforts of all indexers there are very few errors too which
shows how dedicated each and every indexer is.
Regards, Bill
Trust a man to be sensible. At last count, nobody seemed to know how many
indexers there were.
We probably don't even have a membership list.
