New Zealand Periodicals says "A periodical is a regularly published magazine, newsletter, or journal. Many genealogical societies and historical organizations in New Zealand publish magazines, newsletters and genealogical periodicals"

The New Zealand Society of Genealogist (NZSG) is unique because it covers the whole of New Zealand.
In other countries, individual areas have their own organisations.
