The journal was established at the inaugural meeting of the newly-formed Astronomical Society of Australia on 30th November 1966 as the Proceedings of the Astronomical Society of Australia with the first volume going into print in March 1967.[1] It was run by a single Editor, Dick McGee, until 1989 when an Editorial Board was established.[1] Up to 1994 its primary purpose was to publish papers presented at the Annual General Meeting of the ASA, although historical papers and book reviews were also considered for publication.[1]
Starting with Volume 12 published in 1994 the name was changed to the current Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, reflecting a wider remit towards publishing general astronomy research papers. PASA was first published electronically in 1996 under a partnership with CSIRO publishing.[1] Since 2013[2] it has been published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of the Astronomical Society of Australia.
