Initiated in 1983, the Memoirs are a monographic series published by the Association of Australasian Palaeontologists, a specialist group of the Geological Society of Australia Incorporated.

The Memoir series publishes peer reviewed papers on all aspects of palaeontology and its applications in the earth and biological sciences, including taxonomy, biostratigraphy, vertebrate and invertebrate palaeontology, palaeoichnology, palaeobotany, palynology, palaeobiology, palaeoecology, palaeobiogeography and biogeochemistry among others. The Memoir series is designed for longer monographic treatments, but will also consider thematic sets of papers and commonly publishes conference proceedings.
