Introduction

The First Part of the document is an Author Index to the short stories in the Past Masters series of anthologies produced by "Pulpmeister" up to and including No 100.

When I began collecting stray short stories in the Life + 70 Public Domain from newspapers and magazines and producing original anthologies, I had no idea there would be so many of them. I started with just the title  Past Masters . After a while I found more stories and produced a second anthology called More Past Masters, thinking that would be the end of it. Inevitably, there were more; the next issue being numbered, obviously, Past Masters 3. Now there are 100 of them.

This Index covers the first 100 issues of Past Masters, from Past Masters (abbreviated PM) and More Past Masters (M), Past Masters Three (3), and so on to Past Masters One Hundred (100).

A factor in creating this index was to enable me keep track of the stories I have used, so as to avoid duplications. They have helped, but so far there are at least 10 stories which appear more than once in the anthologies.

The abbreviation fl,  used instead of dates, is short for floruit, and refers to the years where the author is known to have been active, but where vital dates are unknown despite diligent search.  An example is Val Jameson, an Australian author of short stories (and also popular songs) active in the 1920s. Maddeningly, I can find nothing out about the author other than Val is almost certainly short  for Valerie, and an indirect hint that she may have been a schoolteacher.

This Index also contains the contents of all the original one-author collections I have created from the same sorts of sources as the Past Masters, and they are in a way quasi-Past Masters books, but not part of the numbering sequence.
