Description
Summary:Maintenance and Update Frequency: annually Statement: Source: Geoscience Australia and its predecessor agencies: Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO), Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics (BMR) and the Mineral Resources Survey. Form: Physical field notebooks and associated materials. All Antarctic notebooks are also available in digital form from GA and the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL). Digitisation of additional field notebooks is in progress. This Collection record was created to enhance the discoverability and management of the individual products contained in the collection. See the individual eCat records for product specific lineage. Purpose Historic and scientific significance. Many sites visited are remote and have rarely been revisited. Some notebooks also record observations on fauna and flora. Collection of field notebooks recording mainly geological observations made by staff of Geoscience Australia (GA) and its predecessors, Bureau of Mineral Resources (BMR) and Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO), while conducting fieldwork between 1930 and 2010. The notebooks are currently being digitised. Value: Historic and scientific significance. Many sites visited are remote and have rarely been revisited. Some notebooks also record observations on fauna and flora. Scope: Geographical scope is largely Australia, pre- and post-Independence Papua New Guinea (PNG), and the Australian Antarctic Territory, but other countries and territories are represented.
