This is an initial research index from supplied transcriptions. Some contents were transcribed from revised reprints; article titles and opening pages for 1898–1900 remain provisional. Annual articles are now searchable by extracted names, places, dates and concept tags (OCR-based, provisional). Both 1908 Tantara volumes are in one scan. Their 60 chapter headings are indexed; individual contents entries are OCR-derived and not fully proofread. Source links open the contents page.

Built for accountable historical research

Records preserve original source titles and page starts; uncertain data is marked. The bibliography identifies the 1885 revised reprint of Nos. I–IV. Historical assertions in articles are not automatically endorsed.
