The very first number of the Journal, published in July 1980, just two months after the inaugural meeting of the Society, consisted of a slim 18-page A5 booklet. It soon expanded into a robust Society Journal averaging around 56 pages per issue with the cover designed by Peter Rothwell. The last issue in this format, No. 30, appeared in September 1994 (an exception was a special A4-sized issue in September 1987 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the publication of Tarka the Otter). The Journal was redesigned in a new, larger format in 1995, with the cover designed by Mick Loates.
The Table of Contents for each issue is listed below. Authors and titles are also listed within the Research Centre indexes. Updating the indexes is an ongoing task; while the author index is kept current, the title index, with short abstracts, currently contains the material from Journals nos. 1–38 and Newsletters nos. 1–7, and will likely not be updated further.
