    Three rapidly convergent series representations are derived for the values of the Riemann zeta-function \(\zeta(s)\) at positive odd integer values of \(s\). They resemble a classical representation by \textit{J. R. Wilton} [Messenger Math. 52, 90-93 (1922; JFM 48.0409.04)] in which \(\zeta(2n+1)\) is expressed in terms of a finite sum involving \(\zeta(2k +1)\) for \(k =1,\dots,n-1\) and a rapidly convergent infinite series whose general term contains \(\zeta(2k)/2^{2k}\). The three new series contain \(\zeta(2k)/3^{2k}\), \(\zeta(2k)/4^{2k}\), and \(\zeta(2k)/6^{2k}\), respectively, the third of which appears to be the most rapidly convergent series of this type yet obtained.
