My own interests had diverted to the Westcountry book trades and only in 2001 did I complete the keyboarding of those cards entrusted to me in an attempt to do justice to the immense labours of Victor Berch. The table below gives an indication of years represented. This does not necessarily imply that those years were covered exhaustively, simply that entries were noted as keyboarding progressed.
