Due to the limited availability of my time I have decided to continue to do some transcribing of newspapers that are not currently searchable on Papers Past, but in a reduced capacity. There will no longer be transcriptions of names associated with advertising (which is a shame, but something has to go) and I will only transcribe whole articles which take my fancy – otherwise it will just be names and the section and page they can be found under.
