Archives Update - January 2022

  Archives Update 1939: 118 of 312 (+0) – 2 complete months 1946: 200 of 313 (+0) – 3 complete months 1947: 128 of 313 (+0) – 1 complete months 1948: 30 of 314 (+0) – 1 complete month 1949: 287 of 313 (+0) – 8 complete months 1954: 247 of 313 (+0) – 7 complete months 1956: 313 of 313 (+0) – 12 complete months 1963: 54 of 313 (+0) – 1 complete month 1968: 139 of 314 (+0) – 2 complete months 1969: 227 of 312 (+0) – 4 complete months 1970: 301 of 313 (+1) –11 complete months 1971: 220 of 313: (+0) – 6 complete months 1972: 291 of 313 (+0) – 6 complete months Just one strip was added in January so there are now 2,556 strips in the archive, spread over 13 years from Hamlin’s 40-year tenure on the strip. That pushes the Archive to 62.82% of the strips produced during those 13 years. The only good thing is that the added strip completed another month in 1970 as the only strips missing are from October.
