Make available a list of the newspaer codes used in the PDF filenames so downloaded articles can be located more easily.
Having downloaded a large number of files as PDF I find it difficult to find a specific article when I need to refer to it again. I have managed to import the filenames into a spread sheet and covert the date coded in to a long format date but would like a list of newspaper names so I can arrange a lookup on that part of the filename to give me both newspaper and date.
Hello Peter,
A trick for you.
1. open your browser, make sure you signed into the site, paste in the filename of your PDF e.g BL_0000217_18590813_001_0001.pdf
2. remove the “.pdf” from the end and convert the underscores “_” to forward slashes “/” e.g BL/0000217/18590813/001/0001
3.Paste this URL in front of that: http://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/
4. Hey presto! you now have the page that you downloaded with title information etc e.g http://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/BL/0000217/18590813/001/0001
Hope that helps!
