It's been a while, but I can report some progress with incoming records! Following software problems earlier in the year I'm now getting things running again, and am catching up with some MapMate data. (There's still a large backlog of non-MapMate data, hope to make progress there over the coming weeks). The following are some highlights from records for 2013 and 2014.
