Over the years, Ryerson has accumulated a lot of scans of notices. I've never
counted them, but I'd guess there is somewhere more than one million notices.
That is a huge resource, which up to now has only been used to drive our
lookup service. For those of us with access to all the scans, it is also a
very valuable research aid for our own research.
We have now reached a stage where it is possible to make all the scans
available to all members of Ryerson Index Inc, via Dropbox.
This doesn't mean you need more Dropbox space - we can't make the scans
available as shared files (ie where you keep a copy of all of them on your
hard drive) because this would blow everyone's Dropbox space allocation out
of the water. But we can provide you with a link to the files in Dropbox, so
that you can go in and look at any of them, and, if you wish, you can copy
individual files to your hard drive.
Here's the link:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9ddun3nuw57d3dw/AADnDKQdZuF6t3AUc71csulYa?dl=0
(for anyone already accessing NewsCorp, Fairfax or Il Globo scans, this new
link will become the only link to use.)
Initially, the folder contains current issues of all the main NewsCorp
papers, plus Fairfax majors (SMH and Age). Il Globo will be moved in shortly.
Over the next few months I'll be adding more and more scans to this Dropbox
folder - I'm really waiting for a special offer from Dropbox, when they offer
the Pro version (which has 1 Tb of disk space) at a discount. So if you spot
such an offer, please let me know <g>
Happy hunting!
John
