Museum Publications

Auckland War Memorial Museum publishes two scholarly serials as part of its statutory role to advance and promote cultural and scientific scholarship and research.

Records of the Auckland Museum

Records of the Auckland Museum (formerly 'Records of the Auckland Institute and Museum'), contain results of original research on the Museum collections, and research by Museum staff in their particular subjects. 'Records of the Auckland Museum' has been published more or less annually since 1930.

Records volumes since 1930 contain more than 450 articles written by over 150 different authors and co-authors dealing mostly with zoology, archaeology, ethnology, and botany. The articles contain important accounts of archaeological excavations and ethnographic objects, and descriptions of nearly 700 new taxa (mostly new animal species and subspecies) – a major contribution to the documentation of New Zealand's biodiversity.

About 250 copies of the Records are sent on exchange for the periodicals of other research institutes in New Zealand and around the world. These exchange journals are held by the Auckland Museum Library. Proposals for exchange agreements should be addressed to the Librarian.

Volume 34 contains author, new taxa and subject indexes to the contents of volumes 1-33. The subject index may be viewed in the Auckland Museum Library catalogue.

Copies of recent Records volumes may be purchased at the following prices (in $NZ and including G.S.T.):

Bulletin of Auckland Museum

Please Note: These bulletins are out of print. Limited numbers are available for some of these.

The Bulletin is a vehicle for longer monographs, and issues appear occasionally. The subjects covered are natural and human history.

The Bulletins are large scholarly works, on natural history or human history subjects, published at irregular intervals. The following 19 Bulletins have been produced since 1941. Proposals for library exchange agreements should be addressed to the Librarian.

The prices given, for Bulletins still in print, are in New Zealand dollars and include G.S.T. To purchase copies, e-mail your requirements to the Museum Shop.

The last Bulletin of the Auckland Institute and Museum was No. 17 (1996). From No. 18 (2000) the title was changed to Bulletin of the Auckland Museum, reflecting a change in name of the institution.
