Since I have just spent some time "tidying up" the separate index online pages it seems as good a time as any to summarise for you the state of play with the book Indexing Project which has been going for nearly 2 years now. There are 68 completed indexes and 14 still being done. The breakdown is [ C=complete, U=unfinished] GLA ; C 36, U 6 CGN; C10, U 5 CMN; C 13, U 1 PEM ; C 3, U 0 Wales: C 6, U 2 The detailed list is on my Help Page. I would ask anyone who is now *unlikely * to complete any index they have agreed to do to inspect the list today and tell me so I can remove the entry if that is what they would like, with absolutely no grief from me :-). I am personally now an indexing addict and expect to carry on until I run out of books, unlikely to happen, or my eye sight fails completely, much more likely ! I naturally hope that some of you will feel the same way and perhaps agree to produce an index from a book you own or can borrow. Local history type books with lots of personal names are favourite, it is even possible to do un-translated Welsh books with a minimum of familiarity with the language. It isn't totally essential for a book to go on the Lookup Exchange if that is a problem area, there are some there now which aren't. Contact me off line if you are interested and have a possible book in mind, we can then discuss and deal with any copyright concerns you may have. If a book relates to CGN or CMN then I transfer the index itself into the Genuki system [where it will live on for ever presumably], I dare say Pem will do likewise when a new co-ordinator takes it over from Brian Randell, and GLA might if I can persuade Phil Mustoe to spend his limited available time making the required switches. I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has taken part in this most successful project run between the Dyfed and Glamorgan lists. And any who are still beavering quietly away out there ! Gareth List Administrator for Dyfed, CGN & PEM.
