The Tucson Herpetological Society held its first meeting in January of 1988. It also started sending out its first newsletter at about the same time. At first it was a vehicle to announce meetings, but soon papers, reports and transcriptions of presentations started to appear in its pages. Many of the articles that appeared in the early newsletters are available in a volume called The Collected Papers of the Tucson Herpetological Society 1988-1991, however more recent articles can be viewed within the pages of this site.
