DORSET
1851 CENSUS
This is a 3CD set of scanned only images which have their own viewing software - You don't have to install any other program.
Images are reproduced by courtesy of the Public Record Office, London.
All CDs are BRAND NEW and VIRUS FREE
Some of the film frames for
this county are extremely poor - 90% of the scans are no problem.
However 10% of them sent Gordons grey hair white! 5% are just about readable,
the other 5% will require a second look.
The quality of the scans has been increased allowing a better 'Zoom in' ability.
Everything that could be done - was done to give the best results.
However the price of this set
of 3CDs has been adjusted downwards, even though it has been twice the work.
We feel that instead of the usual £14 starting price a fairer price would be £10
to reflect the poor quality of some of the scans.
JPEG version is available if preferred. (ie if you are on Apple Mac).
