Consolidated Index

What is it?

This Index is the "Index to our Indexes" ! The Society has created many individual indexes and this one was created to save checking each index for a particular name or reference - this index tells us which index to check.

NOTE : Many of the Society's holdings are not yet indexed and therefore are not included in this Consolidated Index!
