Some of the records were very challenging to digitize. The earliest, for example, were written into large ledger-books, several entries to a page or with the entry spread across two facing pages. To find your way around, first look immediately above the image box at the line which reads ‘Item can be found in…’ The item number given at the end of this line corresponds to an item number appearing (usually) in the far left margin of the ledger page. Use the scroll bar at the right of the image box to move down the register page if necessary. Pieces of paper with additional information were sometimes added to the records as well, either folded or glued into the ledgers. All these scraps have been digitized, but you may have to keep scrolling (and scrolling!) down the right-hand side of the image box to retrieve all the components that make up a specific page.
