Times of India 1900 arrival and departure notices on FIBIS

From the Families in British India Society (www.fibis.org):

Times of India arrival and departure notices 1900 have been extracted from the Times of India newspapers and uploaded to the FIBIS database website.

This data consists of 7,344 arrivals, 7,797 departures, a total of 15,531 new entries!

Our thanks go to David Edge and his wonderful team of volunteers!

The data is available at http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_components&id=985 - additional entries already there date back to 1868.

(With thanks to Valmay Young)
