PNGVR

The publication and distribution of Harim Tok Tok is the most important function of the Association. It records events, stories of the past and present and remains the official and main communication with our members.

Currently, about 300 copies are printed each edition and distributed to members. Some of the articles in HTT are submitted by members, but the bulk of the work including typing, set out, photographs, printing, collating and distributing are done by Secretary, Colin Gould.

To date, only hard copies have been made and most originals have either been destroyed or misplaced. When upgrading is completed, copies may be available electronically and added to this website. As required by law, copies are deposited in the State library as well as the AWM.

To the best of our knowledge, 58 editions of Harim Tok Tok have been published. The current volume numbers started in March 1994 but prior to that, the volume numbers relate to the year of publication. Volumes published each year varied from none in 1995 to six in 2003 and 2006. The format of each volume has remained fairly constant since February 1993.

The following list of editions show the month and year of publication and highlights key articles published.
