About subscriptions

Individuals wanting to subscribe to the Journal of the Polynesian are also offered a choice of Membership to the Society as one of the Subscription Types. This entitles the right to attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM) as well as discounts on all publications.

Members/Subscribers receive 4 issues of the Journal of the Polynesian Society annually (approx. 450 pages per year). Student discounts are currently available.

Subscription costs vary by subscriber category.  Issues more than two years old are "open access". Issues from 2012 forward are available by clicking >here<. Until 2023, most back issues of the JPS from 1892 were freely downloadable from The University of Auckland Library website portal entitled Journal of the Polynesian Society. Unfortunately, this site has been suspended for technical/compatability reasons for the foreseeable  future.

Many print back issues of the Journal are still available at $NZ15 each, plus postage and packing from the Office jps@auckland.ac.nz.
