The Museum of Paleontology sponsors two professional publication series. The first, Contributions from the Museum of Paleontology, University of Michigan, was started in 1924 for dissemination of shorter technical reports on specimens in the museum’s collections and other research sponsored by the museum. The second, University of Michigan Papers on Paleontology was added in 1972 for longer monographs.
Digital copies are available and can be found on the University of Michigan's digital library, Deep Blue. Hard copies of these publications are no longer available.
