Cumulative Bibliography on the History of Oceanography (1987-2001)
The Cumulative Bibliography on the History of Oceanography (CBHO) was published annually in the History of Oceanography Newsletter beginning in 1987 and through 1997, in order to gather in one place the scattered literature on the history of oceanography. CBHO strives to list all works on the history of oceanography. Biographical items like biographies and obituaries are compiled separately.

Marine Mammals Bibliography
The Marine Mammals Bibliography describes publications (books, journal articles, etc.) about marine mammals and related subjects (fisheries, food, etc.). The bibliography consists of two files of citations: Allen and Mead. The Allen file represents citations contained in Allen, J.A. 1882.

The Cephalopod Bibliography
The Cephalopod Bibliography describes publications (books, journal articles, etc.) about Recent cephalopods and cephalopod related subjects (predators, prey, etc.). The bibliography began with a grant from the National Marine Fisheries Service to Clyde Roper at the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) to develop a computerized cephalopod bibliographic system in 1983. Additional funding was supplied by the Smithsonian Institution (SI) Seidell Fund and the SI Women's Committee. This bibliography comprises publications located at the Division of Mollusks, NMNH. At present, the entries concentrate primarily on works in English or those with an English summary. Future additions to this catalog will include foreign language publications. No attempt has been made for comprehensive coverage of cephalopod publications on fossils or neurophysiology.
