“this week” is the change in the number of images since the last similar blog post.

“to date” is the total images for that title when I last measured it.

“unknown” is an interesting calculation. I compared the change in the total number of documents as measured by the “Big Number” on the homepage, with the change in the number of images for each title that is listed as “new” or “updated.” The difference is a mystery.

Further, if one added up the number of images for all of the titles on the site, the number would be short of the “big number” by about 200,000 pages. Since I have no concrete idea how either set of numbers is managed, I prefer to think of the difference as some wonderful collection of images that will be revealed for a birthday or holiday. Perhaps we’re measuring the dark matter in the universe! If I learn what 70,000 pages were added this week and are not on this list, I’ll post it here.

Have a great weekend! Do you know how many people you could meet at a mall this month?

NOTE: The missing images are from two new titles that I didn’t put on the list.

City Directories – Toledo. 40,290 images
City Directories – Minneapolis 28,979 images

There is also a new title on the list – City Directories – Kansas City, but it currently contains no images.
