The North Munster Antiquarian Journal –Irisleabhar Ársaíochta Tuadh-Mhumhan (1936 – to date: ISSN 0332-0820) is published annually by the Society and is issued free to all members. It contains academic articles on subjects of interest to the Society membership
It is a successor to, and continuation of, the Journal of the Limerick Field Club (1897-1908) and the Journal of the North Munster Archaeological Society (1909 – 1919). Until 1968 each volume of the journal [including its predecessors) was issued in separate parts, varying in number each year; no copy was produced in 1954 while a single volume covered the years 1962-3, 1973-4, and 1998-9. A fuller explanation of this is published in NMAJ, vol. xxi (1989), p. x. While history and archaeology are the predominant subjects covered in the journals there are also articles on place names, historical geography, folklore and folklife, numismatics, architecture and other kindred studies. The focus of most, though by no means all, of the published material is on the North Munster region of Limerick, Clare and North Tipperary.
