In 2008, Aquatic Mammals Journal launched a series titled Historical Perspectives in which esteemed colleagues provide a written essay of their perspective in a field related to marine mammal studies and are interviewed for a DVD record. The essays appear as articles in Aquatic Mammals, and DVDs are available for purchase on the Aquatic Mammals website (below and on left sidebar). All transactions are handled securely through PayPal – you do not need a PayPal account to order; PayPal accepts all major credit cards.

Volume III features interviews with: Christopher Clark, Carleton Ray and Joseph Geraci, Louis Herman, Burney LeBoeuf, R.H. Defran, Ian Boyd, Steven Swartz, Søren Andersen, Sidney Holt, and two summary DVDs – Advice to Students and Career Journeys.
