I am new to indexing and am working on the US—City Directories, 1902–1935 [Part B][MQNL-6Y2]. I have entered 360 records and am still on the first page. There is 2 pages on the image. Is this usual or have I done something wrong?

I would appreciate any assistance.

Thanks

    You could have almost 200 to way over 1000. It all depends on the image. Some pages in the book photographed have 1-2 columns, some have 4 columns.

    Just so you know, for some people (like me) batches this large are too hard for their computer to handle once you get to several hundred. (Or it becomes so slow-going it drives them crazy.) So don't worry if you feel like you can't finish it. If you return it, someone else will finish it. (But you won't get credit for the number you've done.)
