Memoirs of the Queensland Museum has been published since 1912 as a natural and cultural history journal, documenting the evidence of adaptation and resilience of Queensland’s natural and cultural communities in the face of rapid environmental and technological changes. In 1998, the journal divided into two distinct scholarly publications: Memoirs of the Queensland Museum | Nature and Memoirs of the Queensland Museum | Culture.
Memoirs | Nature remains one of Australia’s leading natural history journals. It aims to publish scholarly, peer-reviewed articles in the natural sciences, with a focus on original research pertaining to biodiversity, taxonomy, systematics, natural history or biological collections. While manuscript submissions with a Queensland focus are encouraged, the journal has a broad geographic remit.
Memoirs | Culture focuses on scholarly research on Queensland Museum’s collections, as well as Queensland-based humanities research in history, archaeology, cultural studies and First Nations cultural heritage. The journal is primarily published as occasional thematic volumes around defined research areas.
Both series are recognised as Excellence for Research in Australia (ERA) Journals that are scholarly, peer-reviewed by experts in their field, and registered with ISSNs.
Queensland Museum now uses Scholastica to manage peer review for both journals. Please submit all manuscripts online via Scholastica using the links above.
