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.
Volume VI features interviews with: Roger Payne, Richard Sears, Claudio Campagna, Jeanette Thomas, Kenneth Ramirez, Jay Barlow, Annelisa Berta, Daniel Costa, Jim Estes and Aleta Hohn. A two-part summary DVD includes samples from each of the 12 interviewed women scientists in the HP series in celebration of the journal's 40th Anniversary.
