The Occasional Papers Series has been published by the Northern Territory Library since 1986. The Series provides writers and researchers with the opportunity to publish works which highlight significant or hitherto little known aspects of Northern Territory history and social life.

Included in the Series are papers presented by speakers chosen to deliver the Northern Territory Library’s annual Eric Johnston Lecture.

Hardcopies of Occasional Papers Numbers 1 to 45 are available for sale from the Northern Territory Library at a cost of $5.00 per title. Titles added to the Series subsequent to Number 45 are only available on the internet.
