60 000 pages of AJHRs added to A to Js online

Hi all:

As of late last week we have added another 41 volumes (60,000 pages) of AJHRs to AtoJs Online.

The collection is now complete from 1858 to 1930 (as far as we know) and stands at a little over 250,000 pages from 200 volumes. My estimate is that this just over a third of the AJHRs ever published.
