AIS Bulletin Index (updated January 2007)
All previous issues of the AIS Bulletins are in the process of being indexed for reference. This is an ongoing project by a group of enthusiastic volunteers.

The index is a bit more than just a table of contents. In addition to listing the articles, it includes an index entry for each individual, color, iris photo. For each article, if the title and/or subtopic don't describe the contents well, additional keywords are put in a description entry. The intent was to make the index searchable for things that people would normally look for. For example; everything written by a specific author/hybridizer or every reference to a particular variety of iris.

Though by no means complete, the entries gathered by industrious volunteers to date can be downloaded here. There are three file versions: a PDF version, an Excel file, and a Tabbed Text file of the database. Choose the version that suits your needs best.

Description
In the PDF version, the text can be searched using the "Find" capability of Acrobat. The PDF version requires Acrobat Viewer.

In the Excel file, the data is in the sheet/tab called "Database.” This is sortable and searchable using the tools within Excel. Another sheet/tab called “Info” explains the fields, the abbreviations and other info about the format. The Excel version requires Microsoft Excel.

If you don’t have Excel, you can download a "Tabbed Text" copy of the same data:
