Records of the Auckland Museum (formerly Records of the Auckland Institute and Museum) is our main academic journal. Its 450+ articles incorporate the results of original research on our extensive collections, as well as research by Museum staff and other subject-matter experts. The journal has been published more or less annually since 1930, and includes contributions from more than 150 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.
