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
- Bulletin of the Auckland Museum
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.
Copies of recent Records volumes may be purchased at the following prices (in $NZ and including GST). Please make your selection from the table below and email your requirements to the Museum Shop.
