The The Journal of the Polynesian Society (JPS) is a quarterly magazine of the Polynesian Society in New Zealand .

history

With the establishment of the Polynesian Society on January 8, 1892, the magazine was launched as an official periodical of the society. The first editors of the journal were the initiators and founding members of the society, Stephenson Percy Smith and Edward Robert Tregear . From 1925 Johannes Carl Andersen was co-editor of the journal alongside Elsdon Best .

In 2002, the Polynesian Society started a project together with the University of Auckland to digitize all issues of the magazine and make them available online. In 2009, the first 100 years were available in digital form.
