The Daybook

The record kept day by day: for every day of the year, the dated facts that fall on it, each with its source named, and the day's own Astoria newspapers across the years, the pages the Archive keeps opening here first. The same index the front page reads; nothing here is copied by hand.

In each day's cell: the count of dated facts, then the count of the day's own newspapers. A brass rule under a day means at least one of its newspaper pages is kept here, on the Archive's own shelves; the rest open at the archive that keeps them, named on the day's page.
