The Whakatane & District Historical Society publishes a biannual journal to which members of the Tauranga Historical Society often contribute. The Historical Review (Bay of Plenty Journal of History) aims to present research and reference material relating to the history, prehistory and archaeology of the Bay of Plenty and surrounding districts. It was first published in 1958 and currently has a worldwide circulation.
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.
