a href=”https://parcaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/VNPA_Index_NL_Comp.pdf” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”> by Sandra Bardwell lists the substantive articles published in this important publication from Volume 1 in 1953 to Volume 93 in 1973.

“The history of the Victorian national parks movement over the last 20 years has been shaped to a very significant extent by the growth of the Victorian National Parks Association. The Association has been and continues to be the leading spokesman for the general public on national park issues.
“An important medium for this expression has been the Newsletter which has grown from a modest leaflet to an informative and substantial booklet. It is also an invaluable and rich resource for anyone seeking to read or write about Victoria’s national parks system. In view of the potential value of the Newsletter for research purposes, there seemed to be a clear need for an Index to simplify the researcher’s quest for specific information. From initially modest intentions, the project grew to major proportions with approximately 2000 entries.”

Despite the advent of powerful modern search engines which are able to ferret out materials from all manner of historical sources, we have scanned this Index and uploaded it to PaRC because it assembles in one document a summary of the immensely significant endeavours of the early VNPA.
