About this plate
THE SPECIALTY PROGRAM INDEX. The District is the small, complete, enumerable case, thirteen programmes, all listed on one agency page, countable in one read. Set against Delaware (149, enumerable), New York (206, agency-counted), New Jersey (17 in one of five tracks, no total) and Pennsylvania (unknown, unenumerable), the mid-Atlantic group now covers the full range of how badly or well a US jurisdiction publishes its own catalogue, which is itself the finding the specialty INDEX exists to surface.
