History, aims and scope
Memoirs of the Queensland Museum has been published since 1912 as a natural and cultural history journal. In 1998, the journal divided into two distinct scholarly publications: Memoirs | Nature and Memoirs | Culture.
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.
