The plating project..

CLICK HERE TO BEGIN

My goal here is to get a complete set of scans of all the 1840-41 Penny Black and Red printings of the Penny Black!

I also have a complete collection of the Nissen plates online
so no matter what position you are looking for you will find one here!

To implement this I thought about ways to store and retrive individual scans,
and to this end I have created a unique search engine using a cgi script.

To find a specific position out of the 240 possible positions on a complete sheet of adesives:
Use the following information:

Type in:			NOTES
plate4	lefta	righta	no spaces in plate#! spaces between terms only this will locate all the scans available for plate 4 with the left letter of A and the right letter of A
plate11	leftt	righta	no spaces in plate#! this will locate all the scans available for plate 11 with the left letter of T and the right letter of A
nissen	lefta	righta	spaces between terms only this will locate all the nissen scans for all plates with the left letter of A and the right letter of A

-or-
Here are some shortcuts to all the plates organized by left letters

Plate1a	Plate1b	Plate2
Plate3	Plate4	Plate5
Plate6	Plate7	Plate8
Plate9	Plate10	Plate11
