Index of Subjects <html><div style='background-color:'><P><BR><BR></P> <P>Thanks to Ian and others who have replied. </P> <P> The Acadia Library has vol. 3-5 bound, as well as the smaller format ones up to about 1980, but little after that, and apparently they do not currently subscribe. I have the early volumes myself, so can see that they get 1 & 2; if Ian takes care of getting the Dalhousie set completed, that will make at least two sets complete up to vol. 22 or so. NovaNet indicates that Dalhousie is missing a couple of issues between 1995 and 2000 as well as vol. 1-5, but theirs is by far the best set publically available in N. S. right now. </P> <P> Although I showed vol. 17, no. 3, as missing, and Acadia had not bound its volumes 16 and 17 because it was missing the same issue, I am now persuaded that that issue was never published, as the thrice-yearly schedule changed in 1976 from the previous April-July-November to January- May-July. There is a rather confusing note at the beginning of the Jan. 1976 issue that is apparently intended to explain that one issue was skipped in 1975. </P> <P> I am glad and a little surprised that the Archives will be keeping the Society's complete set. Usually archives are only concerned with preserving unpublished material, and it was there that I was told that there was no official repository library in the Province for N. S. publications. I do think we should encourage them to establish a manuscript group for naturalists' unpublished records from the past, but that is another topic!<BR></P> <P>Cheers,<BR></P> <DIV>Wayne Neily <BR>Tremont, Nova Scotia <BR><BR><BR>"Let us a little permit Nature to take her own way; she better understands her own affairs than we." - Michel de Montaigne, 1580. <BR><BR></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #a0c6e5 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif"> <HR color=#a0c6e5 SIZE=1> From: <I>iamclar@dal.ca</I><BR>Reply-To: <I>naturens@chebucto.ns.ca</I><BR>To: <I>naturens@chebucto.ns.ca</I><BR>Subject: <I>[NatureNS] Availability of NS Bird Society Publications</I><BR>Date: <I>Wed, 14 Mar 2007 14:08:36 -0300</I><BR>All:<BR><BR>As I mentioned to Wayne Neilly, Dal has a complete run of NS Bird Society<BR>Newsletter/NS Birds since they were published between covers.
