We scanned all the papers in the first halves of 1962, 1972, 1982, and 1992 in the Astrophysical Journal and Supplements, the Astronomical Journal, and these Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. The papers were classified as (O) containing new observations, (R) being rediscussions of published data, (T) theoretical, or (L) laboratory data or instrumentation. The proportions were 57:12:28:4, respectively, with no significant changes in 30 years. The papers containing new observations were classified by wavelength regions. All regions showed increased numbers of papers with time. However the predominance of papers (79%) from the optical region in 1962 gave way by 1992 to 1% in gamma rays, 9% in X-rays, 6% in UV, and 15% in IR, leaving 46% in optical. The radio papers remained at 20%. The fractions of papers involving two or more wavelength regions grew from 1% in 1962-1972 to 6% in 1982-1992. (SECTION: Astronomical Sociology)
