1.1847 - 3.1849 4.1850 - 8.1854   1847-A	Mémoires de la Société d'Archéologie et de Numismatique de St. Pétersbourg / publ. par B. de Köhne This title ran from 1.1847 - 3.1849. Sub-title: Memoiren der Gesellschaft zu St. Petersburg Parallel title for 1.1847: Memoiren der Kaiserlich Bestätigten Gesellschaft für Archäologie und Numismatik zu St. Petersburg Parallel title for 2.1848: Memoiren der Allerhöchst Bestätigten Gesellschaft für Archäologie und Numismatik zu St. Petersburg NOTE: This title was the continuation of a couple of non-society (independent) journals: Koehne's Zeitschrift für Münz-, Siegel- und Wappenkunde for 5.1845 - 6.1846 AND Zeitschrift für Münz-, Siegel- und Wappenkunde for 1.1841 - 4.1844; N.F. 1859/62 According to Zeitschriftendatenbank (ZDB), his title was suceeded by Mémoires de la Société Impériale d'Archéologie / publ. par B. de Köhne for 4.1850 - 6.1852.

The encyclopedia article ЗАПИСКИ ИМПЕРАТОРСКОГО РУССКОГО АРХЕОЛОГИЧЕСКОГО ОБЩЕСТВА, however, cites a longer run for this set: 1847-1854 (in 8 vols.) Here the history becomes rather complex. One record in the Zeitschriftendatenbank (ZDB) give this journal as the continuation of Zeitschrift für Münz-, Siegel- und Wappenkunde (1.1841 - 4.1844; N.F. 1859/62). Another record give this journal as the continuation of Mémoires de la Société d'Archéologie et de Numismatique de St. Pétersbourg / publ. par B. de Köhne (1.1847 - 3.1849). This 4.1850 - 6.1852 title had as supplement: Bulletin de la Société Impériale d'Archéologie (26.1850 - 45.1851[?]), which continued Bulletin de la Société d'Archéologie et de Numismatique de St. Pétersbourg (1.1847 - 25.1849) And now the publication reverted to an independent journal: Zeitschrift für Münz-, Siegel- und Wappenkunde, which was continued by Berliner Blätter für Münz-, Siegel- und Wappenkunde 1.1863 - 6.1873[?].
