Notes

  • When visiting the new Journal area, there will be a warning that the site is not secure. Please be aware that as there is no up-to-date personal information here, you can safely ignore this message. Please click 'Continue to site'. We are working to resolve this issue. 
  • To prevent the harvesting of postal addresses, the Membership Listings have been cut completely from issues since 1980 and truncated from earlier issues. This explains some ‘missing’ pages, particularly from near the end of each document.
  • Some documents have annotations in pen and these have caused problems for the optical character recognition (OCR) software used to recover the text. Please be aware that this and other OCR shortcomings may cause anomalies when searching the online journals.
