The Whig Index

With funding we received from the Ministry of Culture’s Library
and Strategic Direction Fund we have digitized the KFPL’s newspaper index
to the Whig and its predecessors from 1810-1848. This is now available on the
DK website. We have also begun scanning the original newspapers for the period
of 1810-1820 and intend to link these to the index early in 2005.

We would like to thank Queen’s University Libraries for making the newspapers
available and for the generous use of space to complete the work.

Vubis Software

Digital Kingston is using Geac’s Vubis software as its database and user interface
and this has proven tremendously flexible.
