We have made the searches work at various degrees of granularity, from a total UK search to subsets and lots more individual titles now searchable.
9-22-19 UK Search Long overdue: the size of the UK collections of books and periodicals warrants a separate search for all of them. This is being created now, with sections for Early Technology, Post-WW II Technology, Music Publications, Miscellaneous and Books, The BBC and Broadcasting, Ham and Shortwave and Individual Company Journals. This will take many days to do as it involves recreating all the search files and moving them onto the server. So if some UK searches do not work, try a day or two later.

  THANKS! My thanks to the group of site users who on a daily basis verify and check my work. There is a lengthy set of steps between receiving a publication to scanning it, converting to a PDF, making it searchable and creating its place on a page on the site. These contributors find mistakes, discover missing pages, correct my terrible spelling and often offer marvelous suggestions.
