The Koala Research Database (KRD) is an online storage facility that currently holds 600+ documents and is designed to store any items relevant to the koala including:

• historical images, drawings, paintings, photo, etc. of koalas

• historical periodicals, articles and other reading materials of koalas

• peer reviewed publications

• brochures, newsletter, and other communications for koala-based events and charity organizations

• government reports

• Maps displaying koala-related content

• social media and 

• other/miscellaneous historical koala-related research content

​

The data base is restricted to researchers associated with the KHSRC, as to avoid any potential copyright issues, but we invite you, the public, to upload / email us any koala related articles to add to our KRD.

​

Any article to be uploaded will be checked against documents stored on our system, and if we don’t already have it, it will be added as a permanent item.

​

The KRD allows researchers, especially those who are interested in the analysis of historical koala data, to value add to their traditional on-line investigations. We would welcome suggestions for projects / topics where the KRD could be utilised to support such investigations especially if  funding could be attracted to support a student / research officer to focus on such a task.

​

We envisage that the KRD will ultimately hold in excess of 10,000 items by the time we finish sorting and uploading items currently still only held in hardcopy.

​

If you have any documents or files that you think could be of use to our KRD and future koala research, please either:

• become a member of KHSRC by visiting our Members page here, or subscribing below, and join our forums where you can discuss and upload koala-related content with other members including the KHSRC researchers. 

• and/or simply email us your documents here or contact any of our KHSRC researchers to send us your contributions for our review and approval.
