Proceedings of the Rochester Academy of Science:

The Proceedings have been published on an irregular schedule since 1890. Original papers relating to the natural history of western New York State and biographical articles on the scientists who contributed to our knowledge of this field are featured in this publication. The abstracts of papers and posters presented at the annual Scientific Paper Session are included in each issue as well.

The Proceedings are distributed on an exchange basis throughout the world to institutions and libraries through the University of Rochester Library. Distribution is primarily to college and university libraries, and secondarily to museums, government research units, sister academies, and public libraries. Foreign exchanges go to appropriate institutions throughout North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia.
