Journal of the British Astronomical Association

Select index, compiled by Bob Marriott

An index of around 1,000 papers and other contributions relating to practical astronomy, published in the Journal during the period 1941–2003 (Vols. 51–113). Most of the entries pertaining to redundant technology or outdated methods (particularly from the earlier period) are not included, although some have been retained as being of interest. Each author's entries are in chronological order. (The complete index to the BAA Journal, Vols.51–100 (1941–1990), compiled by R.A. Marriott, can be purchased from the Association, price £4 (148 pp., hardback)).
