Our Editor, Ron van der Holt, has added over 20 issues to the bulletin index, which means it now includes all 1200+ articles that appeared from the first to the latest bulletin (number 209).

The index of the over 1000 articles in bulletins 1-185 is now available online as a spreadsheet, to make it easy to sort articles by country, subject, author or issue, and to search for specific words in the article’s title. Finally, you can use the ‘Download as’ option in the ‘File’ menu to copy the spreadsheet to your computer in a variety of formats. To obtain past bulletins please contact the Editor.

Bulletin 183, from October 2008, is now freely available as a sample issue, representative of the content and structure of current bulletins. Click on the image to view the issue. As you scroll down, it may take a while for individual pages to become visible.

Note that some pages were removed to reduce the file’s size and to preserve the society officer’s privacy.
