Comments in [ ] brackets are added by the compiler for clarity (he hopes). Dates, eg 28-02-1959, are in Day – Month – Year order. ‘[M]’ means a very short reference to the subject in the M&GN Minutes. From B361, Minutes of the M&GN Committee meetings were included in most issues. These have been indexed under their subject headings and also separately where they were expanded upon. Where the [M] precedes the Bulletin references, all the references are for Minute entries (eg: Progress 1900 [M] 466/4 468/4 470/5 472/5). Financial and Clerical matters (which are generally in every set of Minutes), and some other minor matters are only included if of particular interest. For Minutes from B502, some of the entries are paragraphs much longer than just a sentence and are not recorded with the [M] as they give more than just basic information. Minutes dating from before 1893 are also shown as [M]. Photographs and photocopies of original documents did not appear in the Bulletin until B183. Any earlier references to them are descriptions or transcriptions only. For details of these, please see the separate Index of Photographs, Drawings and Plans. (S) means issued as a supplement to the Bulletin listed. B294 was August/September 1985, there was no separate August Issue. Subject headings are in bold type to make it easier to see where the next subject begins, especially for larger listings, eg Cromer etc. If you cannot find the article for which you are looking under the heading you expect it to be under, please try looking for other major words, eg Accident at Hindolveston will be under ‘Accidents’ and ‘Hindolveston’. Most major articles are cross-referenced within the index but some will undoubtedly have slipped through the net. Users of the electronic version can press ‘Ctrl + F’, type in the subject they are looking for and click ‘Find Next’. THE COMPILER WARMLY WELCOMES CORRECTIONS AND AMENDMENTS.
