  • Index to Yorkshire Journal
    Index to Yorkshire Journal A full index to the previous year’s issues was published in each Spring issue from 1994 to 2004. It would be extremely time consuming to combine these annual indexes into a single master index, so the annual indexes are individually reproduced in the remainder of this document. Fortunately it is relatively simple to find all references using the search function in your reader – usually this is invoked by pressing the Cntrl and F keys simultaneously. No index exists for the last three 2004 issues, as publication ceased at the end of this year, Each reference is indexed by the issue number (in bold type) followed by the page number. The issue numbers are: Spring Summer Autumn Winter 1993 1 2 3 4 1994 5 6 7 8 1995 9 10 11 12 1996 13 14 15 16 1997 17 18 19 20 1998 21 22 23 24 1999 25 26 27 28 2000 29 30 31 32 2001 33 34 35 36 2002 37 38 39 40 2003 - 41 42 43 2004 44 45 46 47 There was also a trial issue (Winter 1992) referenced by 0 The following suffixes have been used to identify the different types of material being referenced: a an illustration: drawing, painting, etc p photograph cp cover photograph v verse dv dialect verse ss short story (R) book review For example, 2 110p refers to a photograph on page 110 of the summer 1993 issue.
