The Academy of Political Science published 150 issues of the Proceedings of the Academy of Political Science as a series from 1910 to 1991. As part of the Academy's public service record, semi-annual meetings were held to investigate political, economic, and social issues. These meetings drew upon recognized scholars as well as public officials who presented papers in the subject on the agenda. Many of the papers were published in the Proceedings.

The Academy of Political Science is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization founded in 1880 with a threefold mission: (1) to contribute to the scholarly examination of political institutions, processes, and public policies, (2) to enrich political discourse and channel the best social science research in an understandable way to political leaders for use in public policy making and the process of governing, and (3) to educate members of the general public so that they become informed voters in the democratic process. The major vehicles for accomplishing these goals are its journal, Political Science Quarterly, Academy conferences, and the publication of proceedings or symposia based on conference presentations. The prestige and authority of the Academy are such that statesmen and scholars of all political persuasions have enrolled as members, participated in its conferences, and contributed to its publications. Former presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and George Bush are honorary members of the Academy.
