Foreword

The Australian and New Zealand Society of Indexers. Index Series publishes indexes compiled by mentees in the Australian and New Zealand Society of Indexers (ANZSI) mentoring scheme. Mentees, under the supervision of ANZSI mentors, create indexes to previously published works which have been published without indexes. Titles chosen for the mentoring program are significant or useful works from the 19 th and 20 th century which warrant being indexed, and which will provide invaluable access to previously difficult to use material. Indexes to both monographs and serials are included.
