Hermes is the annual literary journal published by the University of Sydney Union and the oldest such journal in Australasia. The first issue appeared in July 1886. Publication was suspended in 1942-1944, 1953, 1955, 1964, and 1970-1984.[1] First published in 1886, the journal is edited by current students and all content within the publication is provided by students, staff and alumni from the University of Sydney. While in recent years there have been themes for specific editions, the journal publishes written, creative and visual pieces.
