You usually add the dates of the editions that you have added, but you have not done this, this time. Could the dates be added to this posting?
Suspect the dates are missing because there is still too little progress in adding 20th century newspapers, rather than what I suspect is the easier option of adding 19th century ones and a making a fuss about the amount added.
Yes indeed – without the years of the new data, one does not know where to do one’s ‘routine’ searches. No point researching years that have already been done.
