In addition to performing archaeological investigation, specialist analysis/processing, collecting, preserving, and exhibiting museum material, the Archaeological Museum of Istria in Pula (AMI) is also tasked with publishing the results of this work. AMI is thus particularly focused on its publishing activities.

Publishing activities at the museum, since its activities were revived in 1947 as the Archaeological Museum of Istria, date back to the 1957 launch of a multilingual monograph series focusing on the cultural and historical monuments of Istria, which showcases the cultural heritage and oldest monuments of Pula and its surroundings in a popular science format.

The journal Histria archaeologica has been published periodically since 1970. The articles are thematically related to Istria's archaeology, history, and art. It is regularly published on the Hrčak Portal of Croatian scientific and professional journals:  https://hrcak.srce.hr/histriaarchaeologica 

The Catalogues of the Archaeological Museum of Istria series has regularly accompanied every temporary exhibition of the Archaeological Museum of Istria since 1979.

The Monographs and Catalogues of the Archaeological Museum of Istria series has been published since 1985 and is conceived as a monographic and thematic companion to large-format exhibitions.

The Catalogues of the Pedagogical Service series (renamed Catalogues of the Educational Department from issue No. 10), has accompanied the workshops and exhibitions of the Education Department of the Archaeological Museum of Istria since 2005.

Our Exhibition Catalogues series, launched in 2017, is conceived as a marketing and promotional programme aimed at briefly presenting selected items from the AMI collection three times a year in the Window to the Past exhibition format, notably presented in a window of our C4 Gallery and accompanied by a catalogue.

AMI print publications are also part of exchange programmes and the continuous development of the AMI Library collection in collaboration with 335 organisations and institutions in the country and abroad.

AMI is also a co-publisher, collaborating with other institutions and museums across a broad range of projects.
