Newspaper Articles on the Thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus)

Two of Tasmania's weekly newspapers, The Weekly Courier and The Tasmanian Mail, have been digitised by STORS but are not searchable. Numbers between vertical lines (e.g. |3|) refer to the column number on a given newspaper page. I believe that this will make articles much easier to find as it significantly narrows the search area.

You can now pre-order our upcoming book, 'Thylacine: The History, Ecology and Loss of the Tasmanian Tiger', to be published by CSIRO Publishing, with all royalties strictly being donated to the Save the Tasmanian Devil Appeal. With 78 contributors, including 58 with a PhD, it is set to be the new definitive volume on the species for many years to come, and includes the last two pieces the late Col Bailey ever wrote on the thylacine among many others.
