Scientific Publications
The scientific
publishing program at Carnegie Museum of Natural History was begun
in 1901 under the guidance of Andrew Carnegie. William J. Holland,
then the museum's Director, stated in an editorial appearing in
Volume 1, Number 1 of the Annals of Carnegie Museum:
"The publication
of the observations and discoveries of those, who form the staff of a
well-organized museum, has always been recognized as a proper function
of such an institution.... For the purpose of facilitating the diffusion
of knowledge gained, often laboriously and at great expense, by those
who are directly connected with the museum, as well as to form a medium
for the publication of the results of the labors of others, who are associated
with them, or are pursuing inquiries along the same, or kindred lines,
the Trustees of the Institute have authorized the publication of...[the]
Annals...."
Today, Carnegie
Museum of Natural History produces three publication series:
The Memoirs
of Carnegie Museum were published from 1901 to 1936. All are dedicated
to providing the findings of the research of the Museum's staff and their
associates to the scientific community.
