Happy National Indexing Day @indexers.bsky.social #IndexDay This year I have indexed texts on Buddhism, medieval Sri Lanka, performing arts, theatre, Carmelite history, Yoga, Spanish art and literature, and libraries, amongst others -- each a challenge, each a pleasure! indexingcraft.wordpress.com

Welcome to National Indexing Day! We're the UK's professional society for book and journal indexing, and we're celebrating our founding anniversary with lots of posts about indexing, indexes and indexers. Follow #IndexDay to join in.
