What is withheld, and why
This site publishes the Society's newsletters and papers as printed, in full, for every year from 1950 on — with one narrow exception.
For material from 2011 onward, a small number of personal contact details are removed before a page or a PDF is published: a telephone number, an email address, a postal code, a home street address given as a remittance address for cheques, or a personal social-media profile — a Facebook, Google Plus, YouTube, Instagram, X/Twitter or LinkedIn page or account printed for one person. A business’s, a venue’s or the Society’s own page is not a personal detail and is kept, and so is every other website address. In the page text, each removed detail is replaced by a short bracketed note naming what stood there, such as "telephone number removed," "address removed" or "social-media profile removed," in the same place the paper printed it. These are almost always an officer's or a volunteer's own home details, printed in a newsletter, a convention notice, or an AGM invitation because that person held an office that year, not information the Society published about anyone else. The Society’s own e-mail addresses printed on those papers are removed in the same way.
Nothing is invented and nothing is guessed at: every marker replaces exactly the words the original printed, in the same spot, and the original PDF is repainted the same way — the text is genuinely removed from the file, not merely covered, so it cannot be selected, searched, or copied back out. The unredacted originals are not destroyed; they are kept off this website, in the Society's own paper and digital archive.
Material from 2010 and earlier is published as printed, in full: names, home addresses, telephone numbers, and prices, exactly as the Society itself put them on the page or in the mail at the time. The one exception is the Winter 2010–2011 issue, which prints its season on the masthead as “Winter 2009–2010”: it belongs to the later run, and the contact details in it are withheld like the rest.
