British Newspaper Archive passes 95 million pages of uploaded content

Apologies for being away so long, from this blog in addition to a two week trip to New Zealand, to speak at two genealogy conferences in Christchurch and Auckland, I subsequently had an operation on my right hand to correct a bent index finger caused by a herditary disease called Dupuytren's Contracture (also known as the 'Viking disease', or 'Celtic disease'). Being right-handed, this severely limited my abilities to work, so I've basically taken a bit of time off. Thankfully everything is now on the mend, so it is time to get stuck back in again!

The British Newspaper Archive (www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk) has passed the 95 million pages of content mark, as it moves ever closer to the 100 million pages mark, which I suspect will happen before the end of the year. At present, it hosts 95,286,038 pages. The following are the additions over the last 30 days:
