The Naturwissenschaftlicher Verein für Schwaben (NWVS) publishes a report once a year. The report represents a collection of articles presenting the most important scientific findings by its members. Additionally, our society publishes also reports on special topics.
The society was founded as “Naturhistorischer Verein Augsburg“ in 1846. In 1886, the original name was replaced by its today’s name “Naturwissenschaftlicher Verein für Schwaben“. This is the reason why the nomenclature of the published reports changed accordingly. It is also worth to mention that during the first 100 years a report was not necessarily be published each year. This is especially true for the time during World War I and II.
