British Newspaper Archive approaches 37 million pages

Fair play to the British Newspaper Archive (www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk), somehow still plodding away through this pandemic to get content online, and now approaching the 37 million pages mark, or 90% of the originally projected total of 40 million pages (no idea if this has been updated or changed in any way).
