<p>adding cover</p>
<p><b>New page</b></p><div><!-- How to edit this page:<br />
<br />
For detailed information on editing this page, click the "How To Edit Pages" link <br />
in the navigation bar and look for the article on "Editing Ship Cover Pages". If <br />
you run into trouble or need to do something a little more complicated, contact <br />
the Curator for help.<br />
<br />
Don't forget to preview the page before saving it and please add a short description <br />
of the change in the Summary text box just above the Save / Show buttons at the <br />
bottom of the page. A short description would be something like "added 5 naval covers".<br />

Covers should be listed in chronological order. Use the postmark date or best guess.<br />
<br />
Each entry provides a link to the image of the front of the cover. There is also <br />
the option to have a link to the image of the back of the cover if there is anything <br />
of significance there. Finally, there is the primary date for the cover and the <br />
classification types for all postmarks based on the [[Locy_System | Locy System]].<br />
