Many thanks for working on it- I look forward to reading the information when it's fixed  :)

Done - the volume is fixed. Here's the (rather long and ugly) link to the volume contents: http://atojs.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/atojs?a=q&r=1&results=1&txq=&laq=&paq=&scq=&seq=&stq=&voq=AJHR_1898_I_H&sf=bySH&e=-------10--1------0--

Hi everyone -

As you probably all know, Family History Month is nearly upon us in NZ, and the Family History Fair will be taking place in Hamilton on August 26-27th. And co-incidentally, as it happens, Papers Past currently has 1,947,130 pages available - just shy of the 2 million pages mark...

It must be time for a new content release!

We're going to release a new batch of content very soon on PP in support of Family History Month, the Family History Fair, and to push us over the two million pages mark.

This release will be substantial in terms of the number of new pages available - nearly 140,000. On a side-note, it wasn't that long ago that the entire PP site was around that size.

The content will include a few new titles and some extensions to existing titles:

Akaroa Mail and Banks Peninsula Advertiser (1877-1920)
Daily Telegraph (1881-1901)
Feilding Star (1910-1920)
Northern Advocate (1910-1920)
Observer (1910-1920)
Wairarapa Daily Times (1902-1919)
Wellington Independent (1845-1859)

We hope to have this material up on the site on friday this week, although it could always end up being a day or two either side of this, so please bear with us if it shifts a little at the last minute - we very much hope you all enjoy the release.
