NPL Digitization Lab Technical Issues

For the earliest issues (1850s-1870s) there are various numbers on each issue. They each have a Volume number, issue number and "Whole Number". (For example, Vol V, No 3, Whole number 107).

For naming the files, we have decided to use the "Whole Number" system. - This is usually found on the right side of the newspaper on the first page.

For anyone who is scanning these early newspapers, please check that you are using the "Whole Number" system for naming the folders and files.

Thanks,

Julia
