As of March 2023, access to the Newsletter Archive has been changed.
The Newsletter Archive (including the most recent issue) is now accessed here:
https://wwfry.org/newsletters (https://wwfry.org/newsletters)
The page is password protected. Please see the "member's only" announcement for the password (https://forum.wwfry.org/index.php/topic,4422.0.html).
The Newsletter archive page still requires some additional formatting for ease of use, but all Newsletters should be accessible.
Please do not share the direct links to these Newsletters to those outside of the WW&F organization. If you have a friend you want to pass on an individual issue (as a PDF file) to, please feel free to do so. Please refrain from posting these links on public forums, social media, etc.

The new Newsletter archive (accessible at: https://wwfry.org/newsletters/ (https://wwfry.org/newsletters/) ) is now reformatted for easy browsing on a traditional computer, tablet, and smartphone.
It's possible that links may have broken, but everything I tested seems to work fine. Thanks for your patience while that page got a much needed redesign.
If you are a member, and need the password, please email me at ed.lecuyer@wwfry.org.
If you are not a member... please join!

Ed, are the Newsletter archives searchable in any fashion, or does one have to look at each issue one by one to find something?

Unfortunately, no. A manual search is required.

At the very least, the text is searchable once the file is opened. So you can use Ctrl+F to find things, you don't have to read every word. A few years back I led an effort to add searchable text to the older scanned issues that lacked it. The embedded, computer-generated text in those scans is not 100% accurate but it should be "close enough" to find subjects of interest.

One could download all the newsletters to their local system, then perform searches locally. :)

Some of the newsletters are just scans.

ALL of the Newsletters have been OCR'd (optical character recognition) so that they can be searched and even copied/pasted from. As Ben noted, he helped get that project done and it has been extremely valuable for a variety of reasons.
