Publications

Periodicals

From September, 1943 to December, 1971, the Vancouver Natural History Society published a newsletter known as the Bulletin. In 1995, Bill Merilees compiled Selected Excerpts from the Bulletin with Notes and an Index. Only a few copies of the Selected Excerpts were printed. PLease click here for a PDF copy. In 1972, the Bulletin was replaced by the journal Discovery. In 1999, another newsletter, the Vancouver Naturalist was launched.
