The Victorian Naturalist

The Victorian Naturalist is the journal of the FNCV and has been published continuously since 1884. It is currently issued six times a year, and is received as part of the membership subscription of the FNCV. 

The journal publishes a mixture of scientific Research Reports, Contributions, Naturalist Notes and Book Reviews, intended to appeal to a wide readership. Articles judged to be Research Reports or Contributions are refereed by external authorities.

The journal’s editors accept articles of relevance to Australia on the widest range of natural history subjects. Articles with an historical focus on significant people or events within the areas of interest are also considered for publication.

An electronic copy of The Victorian Naturalist

The Victorian Naturalist is a significant record of scientific and other information about the natural history of Australia. The FNCV has recently obtained a grant from The Norman Wettanhall Foundation to create a digital archive of The Victorian Naturalist, extending back to the first issue, in January 1884. The Archive will be totally searchable from the internet once it is completed, making available the vast knowledge and observations of Victorian natural history to everyone.
