Just found this on the fantastic Trove site 


https://trove.nla.gov.au/search/category/magazines?subject=Great Britain. Army -- Ordnance and ordnance stores -- Periodicals.

 

Hopefully there will be more listed 

 

Does anyone know of others listed elsewhere?

The scanned originals are from the National Library of Australia and according to their catalogue they have the issues from 1904 to 1917. Unfortunately they are listed in the catalogue as not available on line.  See call number              S 355.8 GRE

 

Regards other copies, the Australian War Memorial has several part sets giving a near complete set from 1872 to 1920. Unfortunately nothing is available on line and there are no inter-library loans, so I have to travel to Canberra every time I want access. I do not know of any copies available on line.  

 

Ian Skennerton published 6 books of extracts, mostly about weapons. These are useful, but very limited.

Hopefully 1904 is only the beginning, and 1905 -1917 aren't too far behind. It's the same with the AIF Orders, held by the AWM, they are something that should be made available online too. Suppose can't complain too much, at least we don't have to pay to view our public records when they finally do go online. 

 

I know of a set of List of Changes in private hands in South Australia, can't remember the date range they had but in definitely covered the period 1900 - WW1 and likely earlier. There must have been a dozen or more volumes.

National Archives Australia have a digitised copy of the LoC for 1917 on their website, in JPEG format. Lots of keystrokes if you want all 1770 pages.

Hi Wigeon

would you mind posting a link. I could not find the digital copy, only the paper copies of 1900 on to after WW2 at their Melbourne facility

Cheers

Sorry, having problems creating a link that works. The old fashioned way is is to go to National Archives of Australia RecordSearch and select advanced search for items. Input List of Changes in the keyword in title dialogue box, scroll to bottom and check  digital copies only. Hitting search will produce a new page for Item A1194, 04.91/2245 with the link to the digital copy.  Hope this helps.
