Cumulative Index of Articles
12 April 2013
In 2000 to mark the Millennium the CDJ Board commissioned Gary Craig, then the Editor of the Journal, to produce a complete Cumulative Index of articles and reviews published between 1966 when the journal started, up to and including the year 2000.
At the time only hard copies were produced but we are pleased to announce that now a scanned version of this extremely useful resource is available for download by subscribers on the main Community Development Journal website.
