Newsletter front cover

All of the more recent WMS Newsletters are available here for download.
Earlier WMS Newsletters are slowly being made available in electronic format - some in MS Word, but also in Adobe Acrobat PDF (Portable Document Format) files - as and when I get the chance to scan, OCR and upload them. It's intended that in the fullness of time all of them will be made available.
An index to mines (and other notable subjects) in the Newsletters (from No.1 to No.53) was developed by the late Alasdair Neill, and is also available for download - see right and below.
If you're having trouble downloading, accessing or opening an item, then please do contact the
WMS Webmaster.

NOTES :
- Newsletters are mostly saved in 'Adobe Acrobat' PDF (Portable Document Format), but
some earlier ones are in MS Word format, and have been compressed using Winzip.
These are set up to print in A5 booklet form on A4 paper, on a HP Laserjet 8000DN printer.
- PDF files may require a copy of 'Adobe Acrobat Reader' to view.  Click here for a copy.
- Winzip files can be opened  in Win 8.1, Win 10 and Android 10 & 11 without further software.  
Other / earlier operating systems may require use of a decompression utility, available here.
