More time on the timeline...

Okay, so it was a bit ambitious to suggest I'd have the timeline up already. I'm only done formatting 400 entries out of about 1600, and those 1600 are still very incomplete. But when I get 800 done I'll put up what I've got and update it regularly. What I'm mostly missing is info about provincial and regional newspapers which have come and gone...
Interesting books I read last week:
Brodsky, Isadore: The Sydney Press Gang, Bloxham & Chambers, 1974
Van Oudtshoorn, Nic: A Newspaper History of Australia, Rigby, 1982
Erdos, Renee: The Sydney Gazette 1803-1842, Longmans, 1961
Souter, Gavin: Heralds and Angels: The House of Fairfax 1841-1990, MUP, 1991

Am halfway through Souter's A Company of Heralds... his first book on the Fairfax papers and the people who worked on them.
