The frogs.org.au media archive project collects newspaper and magazine articles that have featured the Amphibian Research Centre or any of its projects. This is the section for Frog Watch but, using the media archive search, you may access the entire archive. This is an ongoing project - we will be adding articles from both the past and the future.

Search by content
The "search by publication details" (above) uses the database records of publication details for each media article and returns a summary of each file matched, including an abstract and a filesize. The "search by content" is a more thorough search, actually looking at the complete text of the media article, but the results may not be presented in such a user-friendly manner. Use whichever search is most appropriate.
Note: The "search by content" does not distinguish between the "projects" of frogs.org.au - this search will always return results from the complete archive.
