A full collection of GOP Annuals, 62 thick quarto volumes, occupies eleven feet of shelf-space. Each Annual has its pages numbered consecutively from one up to eight hundred or so, and each was originally issued with an alphabetical index, but even so, looking for a particular item is a formidable task, if we do not know in which volume it is to be found. Moreover, these volume indexes do not usually give authors, and do not cover the Christmas and Summer Extras. I therefore decided, several years ago, to try to compose a series of Indexes covering all the bound Girl's Own Annuals, 1880-1941, 62 in all, with summer and Christmas Extras, using the Hypercard program running on an Apple Macintosh. The indexes do not include any of the reduced-size GOP magazines published 1941-1956.
