Learned Societies

The New York Public Library's collections of learned society publications are extensive but sometime difficult to locate in the catalog. The list which follows includes only those publications which deal with the sciences.

Note: Bound volumes with *E call numbers are located at offsite storage, regardless of which division collects the particular item. Loose issues, fixed order bound, and microfilm are located at the collecting division.

This is NOT a complete list of all learned society items. Check CATNYP and the Dictionary Catalog of the Research Libraries of the New York Public Library, 1911-1972 for additional information.
