Also on Archive.org from the collection of the [http://archive.org/details/nationallibraryofscotland National Library of Scotland on Archive.org]<br>[http://archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3Anlsnavylists&sort=-publicdate Navy Lists], in respect of the Royal Navy.
The Lists were initially published on a monthly basis, but some years were only published quarterly. Monthly Naval Lists appear to have been published for the period 1913-1920, but not all are available digitally. The lists below covering 1913, 1914, 1918, 1919 and 1920 contain both monthly and quarterly editions. The ''Quarterly Navy List''s were published January, April, July and October. The NLS holding does not include monthly lists for those months covered by quarterly lists, and it is probable that in fact there was only one List, not two, published when there was a Quarterly edition.
The Lists are also available on the website of the NLS, with transcriptions available, together with a '''Search''' facility, as [httphttps://digital.nls.uk/british-military-lists/archive/93506066 ''Navy List''s: 1913 to 1944]
