This Bibliography is of material related to the history of science in Australia, in particular the natural sciences (mathematics, physical sciences, earth sciences and biological sciences), some of the applied sciences (including medical and health sciences, agriculture and related subjects, and engineering), and human sciences (anthropology and psychology). In addition to Australia, other areas included are New Zealand, New Guinea and other Pacific Ocean islands close to Australia, and Antarctica. Biographical material is also included. The sources used in compiling this Bibliography include those that have proved useful in the past in finding relevant citations. More than 200 journals were scanned for relevant articles. The library catalogues of the National Library of Australia and the National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga O Aotearoa, the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne and the University of Melbourne were particularly useful sources of information. Assistance has been received from several people who sent items or information about recently published items for inclusion in the Bibliography. In particular Professor Rod Home has been most helpful in forwarding relevant citations. Staff of the eScholarship Research Centre at the University of Melbourne, especially Helen Morgan and Ailie Smith, were of great assistance in the preparation of this Bibliography. Readers are invited to continue to send information on the publication of books, journal articles, conference papers, reports, Master's and PhD theses and reviews for inclusion in future bibliographies A.
