--No volume #s, only issue #s.
--Articles transcribed directly from the original journals at the V&A Art Library, although sometimes photographs have been made. When such is the case, the first words of each article will be transcribed in order to insure photos match bib. refs.
--There is an index – under “Photography”, technical subjects not copied, nor were very minor announcements if they were made elsewhere.
--There are ads in each issue; these were very randomly checked as time permitted, but should be gone through thoroughly. Transcriptions were made of ads as they were found – they may, or may not have been published at other times.

NOTES: Searches were made on key words such as “daguerreotype” etc.; “photographer”/“photographic”, etc.; “stereoscope” etc. Occasionally the search engine missed entries which were found only by chance. Thus this should not be considered a complete listing of all photography-related entries. With patents I could not always tell if a name listed was a patent agent or the inventor. When unclear no entry was made.
