Serials Collection
The Serials collection includes: magazines, newspapers, Australian Bureau of Statistics reports, annual reports, transcripts of Royal Commissions and court cases, relevant House of Representatives and Senate --
Standing Committee Proceedings
Select Committee Proceedings
Joint Committee Proceedings
Many of the serials are rare, such as annual reports from Indigenous organisations and are held in the Rare Serials Collection in secure temperature controlled storage facilities. The oldest serial titles are: Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland (vol. 1 1872 to present), Science of Man (vol.1 1896-vol.11 1913), Proceedings of the Linnean Society of NSW (1876 - 1911).
The serial list is in alphabetical order and contains the name of every serial and its call number in the AIATSIS Library. Please note that the Library does not hold every issue of every serial title. Also, specific details i.e. publisher, years and volumes held, of every serial title are not yet available on Mura®, the AIATSIS catalogue. Some serials are general titles but are in the collection because they contain articles on Indigenous studies ie caving journals containing articles on rock art, archaeology etc.
We can provide photocopies of individual journal articles.
