Occasional Papers of the Museum of Natural Science, Louisiana State University
Occasional Papers of the Museum of Natural Science, Louisiana State University was founded in May 4, 1938 with the publication of the first issue. The journal was founded by George Lowery, Jr. just two years after he founded the LSU Museum of Natural Science. This journal was closely modeled after the Occasional Papers of the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan series and continues to follow the tradition of that journal and other museum publications such as the American Museum Novitates.
See the Aims and Scope for a complete coverage of the journal.
