I recently came across an ACM daily tucked away in the NLA
eResources, and on further digging found two more.
All seem to date from mid-September 2021, so it seems ACM might be
doing the right thing, and making at least some of their papers
available. We can only hope.
I have downloaded a good supply of issues for these three papers, and
they are now available in the RNR. I have also added them to my
ongoing list of daily saves.
So - we need indexers! These are all papers we have indexed before,
but until now we had lost our feed. So there will be a gap in our
coverage, but at least they are now back on track. Each paper is
daily Mon-Sat, and has roughly 50 notices per week, with a
concentration on Saturday. Only death and funeral notices, no legals,
and a tiny number of obits.
They would be particularly suitable for relatively new indexers -
small volumes, nothing complicated, and good clean copy.
The papers are:
Ballarat Courier (code BL) - issues available in RNR from 18 Sep 2021
Border Mail (code BM) - issues available in RNR from 1 Jan 2022
Burnie Advocate (code BV) - issues available in RNR from 1 Jan 2022
If you would like to take on one of these papers, please claim it
through the list, so others know it has been claimed. Indexing can
start immediately.
First in best dressed!
