During 2011 I completed the compilation of an index to the The Tasmanian Naturalist,which has now been made available in tabulated form on the Club's website. Theindexing project has been a long time in the undertaking and in the absence of success inobtaining a grant for the project (especially the scanning of old volumes to create pdffiles of each article), I also started the scanning work. Approximately two-thirds of thearticles published in the Naturalist since its inception in 1907 are now also downloadableas pdf files. Thanks go to Geoff Fenton for doing the web design and uploading of files.Prior to the placement of the files on our website, I had already received several requestsfor older articles, which I was able to supply as pdf files. Now, visitors to our site needonly send a request to me via the email link for any missing articles and I will scan andprovide the article and then upload to the website. Hopefully by my next editorial in theNaturalist 1 can report that the whole history of The Tasmanian Naturalist is availableelectronically and for free to the world.
