Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland is a multidisciplinary scientific journal published by the Royal Society of Queensland. It was established in 1884.[1]

Volumes of the journal are typically published annually, although this schedule has varied over time as the resources of The Royal Society of Queensland have allowed. There are currently 121 published volumes of the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland. Volume 122 is currently in preparation and is scheduled for publication in late 2017.

While the scope of The Royal Society of Queensland encompasses all of science, including the social sciences that follow scientific method, the scope of the journal is more limited, being restricted to the natural sciences. However, 'natural sciences' is itself interpreted broadly and also, the journal publishes papers on science policy, science education and science opinion.

In addition to the annual Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland, The Royal Society of Queensland has also published a number of special editions on topics of scientific and community interest at the time. These include The Border Ranges - a land conflict in regional perspective (1977), Contemporary Cape York Peninsula (1980), Public information - your right to know (1981), The Brigalow Belt of Australia (1984), The Capricorn section of the Great Barrier Reef - past, present and future (1984), Focus on Stradbroke (1984), The Mulga Lands (1986), Rural Queensland - a sustainable future (1994), Queensland - the state of science (1995) and Landscape Health of Queensland (2002).

In 2014, The Royal Society of Queensland undertook a major project to digitise all past issues of the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland, The Transactions of the Philosophical Society of Queensland, special editions, and a range of assorted historical records. This digitisation effort aims to make this scientifically and historically valuable collection more accessible to scientists, historians and the public generally.
