AUSTRALASIAN MUSIC RESEARCH

Australasian Music Research was established as a musicological journal with the publication of its first issue in 1997. Founded and edited by Royston Gustavson, it was then a refereed periodical devoted to the study of all aspects of Australasian music and musical life, and the resources for such studies. It intentions were to publish articles on composers and performers; histories of music in particular geographical locations or at particular institutions; reception history; critical catalogues of composers’ works; inventories of manuscript and archival holdings in public collections; editions of primary source material including letters, diaries and autobiographical material; bibliographies; and catalogues of audio-visual material.

From volume nine onwards Australasian Music Research became an occasional monograph series dedicated to outstanding scholarship in the field of Australian studies. The following publications have been numbered as part of the AMR series:
