Ideally, we would include the individual articles online rather than just in PDF (which improves accessibility for those with visual challenges) but we have limited time so we’re focusing on just getting all of the PDFs up and online for right now.

The other benefit of listing each article separately is that we’d have the ability then to show all the book reviews, all the articles about the environment, etc. all in one place for those who were looking for information on a specific subject.

Speaking of getting PDFs up and online, any that you are able to share from your own archives would be much appreciated as I only have the last couple of years on hand here. Also, please note that we’re posting them with estimated dates (of my own choosing), so please leave a comment on the page if you know when the issue came out.

Thanks for your patience and support and we look forward to continuing to make progress on the site as time allows.
