The Society also publishes monographs and memoirs on various aspects of New Zealand History.

The journal is free to members of the Whakatane & District Historical Society and Tauranga Historical Society.  Non-members may purchase copies of the journal by contacting the Secretary of the Whakatane & District Historical Society.
