Saving the index to your hard drive
The two pages you need to save are this one (Introduction to The Finder...) and the Index page itself (Finder Index...).There are several ways of doing this:

Make the pages favorites available offline
Do File/Save as web page
Do file/Save as text file then use your word processor to access it later

I prefer the last option because as a web page the Edit/Find on this page facility for searching for words cannot search for the first word in an index entry by specifying that there be a preceding enter character. Whereas in my word processor, if I want to go to all the entries about Lloyd-Jones I can just do Edit/Find ^p Lloyd-Jones. May I respectfully advise that you ask someone if you have not understood this point. And, if you wish to do a nicely usable printout then you DO make your word processor use a hanging indent of say 1 centimeter as the result will be far far better!

Finder Keywords by Century to trace historical and biographical articles in Banner Magazine

Arranged by century then subarranged by country, this resource gives names of people and topics under which, in the index known as The Finder, articles may be found specifically in Banner Magazine. I have not yet added the very many historical people and topics covered by the Puritan/Westminster Conference papers, nor by Reformation Today, but will do so if this resource is found to be at all helpful. The alphabetical layout is across the page, as the following three important keywords show:

Anniversaries Evangelical History

Do consult these. I have italicised words which are not entered as index entries such as the Christian names of people. This list has been done in haste so all corrections gratefully received. It prints as 3 A4 pages.
