The New York State Museum Bulletin Series

The Bulletin Series represents the Museum’s original research in the natural sciences and human history of New York. The publications are formal, monographic studies written by members of the Museum’s science and history staff, and others. Bulletins are consecutively numbered but are produced at irregular intervals, as manuscripts and proposals become available. The subject matter in this series reflects the full range of the Museum’s interests, including all aspects of anthropology, biology, geology, paleontology, and history of New York. Full copies are online for years 1907 to 1997 at the NY State Library website, reached through: http://www.nysm.nysed.gov/publications/
