Some of you crotchety old pensioner-types (SS for instance 
) with time on your hands and who fancy delving into the history of the club, may be interested in the National Library Australia (NLA) online project.
They have scanned all the old papers (from microfilm) going way back and have put them online. Computers are very bad at reading these scans and produce gobbledegook when they do. So the NLA is asking people to fix up the text to make it available in a searchable form.
I didn't explain that well. The link is here http://ndpbeta.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home
A quick search shows plenty of old stuff about the very early days of the Dogs. Microfilm cataloguing is sometimes done pretty poorly in my experience, so there is a fair chance at least some of the articles scanned would not have been seen by historians and researchers.
