LP Archival Edition

It is now possible to own the complete London Philatelist to the end of the current year for a small fraction of the cost of the paper edition. The current edition is complete to June 2010 in a set of 2 DVDs.

Every issue of The London Philatelist (119 volumes, 34,500 pages) has been scanned to produce a high quality facsimiles of every page (since 2004 high resolution full colour type-setting PDFs have been used).

These have been recognised to produce searchable text stored in a relational database. This allows text searches to be made of the whole of LP using both simple and advanced searching methods. Where the volume and page of a reference are known the system will go directly to that article. For quick scanning of the results of a search the text stored in the database can be read. When a desired article is found this can be viewed as a facsimile image of the original page. So enhancing the pleasure by seeing the original text and having it presented in its original formatting. This is particularly advantageous for tabular information and articles with complex formatting. All illustrations are reproduced with essentially the same quality as the original.
