Thank You's

IMPACT OF COMPUTERISATION
The pictures below show the old index books the Register Office used - compared to new computer printed index books. In the first picture, the pile of books on the left hand side, are all replaced by the single book on the right hand side.
The other two images show the poor density and readability of the old books compared to the new book.
