Just some thoughts re. proof reading, Chris, there is no substitute for the
looooong slow slog through the entries but Excel can of course at least spell
check.
Alternatively it could be made easier by making use of the Read out loud
function on Excel, which would probably be less stressful, unless you get an
American twang voice😊.
It could also be an option to convert the data to a Word document, which has
better proof reading.
Apologies also as I still have about half a year to transcribe - which I have
consistently put off due to one thing and another, by the way.

Thanks Tony,
Your conclusions are the same as mine. We have the missing 1955 pages – just
needs a volunteer to take them on (who did the rest of 1955?)
Thanks for looking after the missing ones that Christine spotted, we can fit
them in in an “Odd” file when you manage to get hold of them.
They can also be added to the 1955 Excel sheet and/or dropped into the database
of the whole.
No hurry – we just need to make sure they aren’t overlooked.
Anybody fancy taking on the task of proof reading all the output! ☹ I think
that will be beyond us.

Re missing pages:
1. Week 6 from 1996 is now hopefully resolved if Karen can read the scan
okay.
2. As Chris says, the last entry transcribed is in the volume 1st Jan 1951
to 22nd April 1955 (last negative 99999) then a gap until the start of 1956 –
which is included in the first part of the next volume which I copied apart
from the identified missing pages (as below):
3. Negatives 145 to 189 (boxes 4, 5 & 6) and negatives 460 to 504 (boxes 25,
26 & 27), which Christine’s now doing? are in the volume that starts from 23
April 1955 to Dec 1961 volume. I am sorry to say went back into the Museum. I
will ask Josh if I can borrow it again in order to copy them.
I think that’s correct.
Will let you know when I have those missing pages copied.

Thanks Tony,
Enjoy the break and hope the weather is reasonable.
No hurry for the scans.

Hi Christine,
Not the same because in this case the missing items are in Tony’s scanned pages
but haven’t been transcribed. I think whoever did that multi-year volume
started at the beginning of 1956 and the 1955 pages which should have joined
the rest of 1955 from the previous volume were overlooked.
Basically there are just over 8 months that need transcribing still.
TONY – please can we try to get the missing numbers Christine has spotted below
plus the Week 6 of 1996 that Karen has just spotted re-photographed please? No
hurry but we mustn’t forget them – they can all be combined into one small file.
The transcribers’ output can then be called something like “Missing pages” and
can be added to the final database as one job (alternatively they can be added
to the relevant year’s Excel files but I suspect Josh will be keen to add them
all to the museum’s normal database system at some point).
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris - I messaged you a while back about the missing pages from 1955. They
are negatives numbered 145 to 189 (boxes 4, 5 & 6) and negatives 460 to 504
(boxes 25, 26 & 27)
Would this have something to do with it?

Dear all,
While just searching for a photograph in the database I’ve just discovered over
half a year’s entries are missing.
I’m not quite sure why but the last entry that has been transcribed in 1955 is
on 22nd April – negative 9999 and there is then nothing until the start of 1956.
Does anybody fancy taking on filling the gap please?
It’s part of a volume that covers up until 1961 but the rest of it is already
there so it’s just negatives from 100 at the beginning of the file up to the
end of December that need doing.
If you can help please let me know and I’ll send you the volume link.
Thanks,
Chris
