LATEST NEWS FROM THE INDEXING PROJECT

Stuff is, as always at the CFZ, mightily confusing, but progress on the indexing project continues slowly. Volunteers are - as always - gratefully received.. Thanks by the way to Lee Canty who has sent in two more months bloggo indexes sorted as to category. They will be processed in the next few days (yes, I know I said that six weeks ago)

27th December: As part of the general buggering about of the website, the November and December indeces are now up, and I have rejigged the month index so the latest entries are at the top of the sidebar to the left. Because of the new format of the main website, the index for the current month will be updated every few days from now on.

26th May: The Aquatic cryptozoology: Natural history and Conservation index is now complete do date, thanks to Heather (who did the initial sorting), and Matty and Emma who are now arguing with each other as to which of them did more, each claiming it was the other.

As far as the Archives are concerned, the first semi-completed page is now up. It covers anomalous behaviour from aquatic animals, such as strandings, attacks and unusual swarms and gatherings.

The periodical data needs to be added, but you can find it here:

This is an urgent plea to anyone who feels like joining in. There are enormous amounts of this stuff to be done. I estimate that the CFZ Archives actually contain over 25,000 items and they are growing daily. So PLEASE if you have an hour or so on your hands, and especially if you are au fait with the most rudimentary html coding, please get in touch with me at jon@eclipse.co.uk
