This dataset contains scanned copies of the meteorological record from the Devon and Exeter Institute manuscript archives, 1817-1975, taken by a number of observers over the years at the site of the Devon and Exeter Institution (DEI), Exeter, Devon.

The location in the manuscripts is noted as being:
50° 45' (50.75°N), 3° 41'W (3.683333°W).

However, that places the location some way to the west of Exeter, whist the recordings were believed to have been made at the DEI building in Exeter:

OS Grid reference: SX 92157 92615
Eastings: 292157
Northings: 092615
Latitude: 50.723121 N
Longitude: -3.5291675 W

The images are stored in a series of folders with the naming convention as follows:

DEI_MR_[start year]_[end year]

Where:

DEI = Devon and Exeter Institute
MR = Meteorological Record
[start year] and [end year] elements are taken as the years covered by the volume. In some cases there is a mid-year break between which volumes records are stored.

Within the folders the files are given the name IMG_####.jpg. The first file shows an image of the spine of the volume from which the subsequent images of the pages are given.

The imaging of the volumes was funded by the National Centre for Atmospheric Sciences and effort supported through the GLoSAT project.
