VV History
The Varangian Voice began as the “extremely unofficial news letter of the New Varangian Guard.”, at this stage the ‘Editor’ was an Ordinary Member position of the Melbourne Garrison.

Throughout the 80’s the Voice continued to grow in size and quality. By Issue 18 in November 1990 the Varangian Voice Policy stated, “The Varangian Voice is produced quarterly…”, this remained so until approximately 2006. With access to the internet becoming the norm for most re-enactors, many of the regular contributors began posting articles directly on web pages. With this reduction in regular contributions the VV moved to a ‘periodical’ format, aiming for 2 issues per year.

From some where around Issue 14 May ‘89, the VV had started to be printed with cardboard covers and had taken on a much more professional appearance. By this time the NVG was expanding and over the next 4 years would grow to 8 garrisons in the Eastern states. The Editor of the VV passed to whoever would volunteer to take it on. When the NVG became Incorporated in 1994, the position of Editor was created as part of the NVG Inc. National Body Executive and it has remained that way ever since.

Despite the VV having been in print for over 20 years, the list of Editors is quite short. The hard work of the volunteers that got the VV started and the tireless efforts of the subsequent editors (again all volunteers), have made the VV the quality, respected publication.
