The cartographic collection of the Doc Fisher Geoscience Library consists of the maps and air photos created or acquired by agency staff since the formation of BMR in 1946. This includes maps produced by agencies which have merged with these over the years, such as AUSLIG. Maps held include: Australian geological map series (1:250,000, 1:100,000 and the 1 mile series); topographic maps produced by NATMAP and its predecessors (1:250,000, 1:100,000 and 1:50,000) - latest editions only; various Australian geochemical, geophysical and other thematic maps; geoscience map series from other countries acquired on an exchange basis, including some with accompanying explanatory notes; Non-series maps acquired by donation or exchange; atlases. The Air photos are predominantly those used for mapping Australia and, to a lesser extent, Papua New Guinea and Antarctica, by BMR/AGSO from the 1940s to the 1980s. Geographical coverage of the sets is not complete, but many individual photos are unique in that they have pin points, overlays or other markings made by teams in the field. The Papua New Guinea photographs in the collection may, in many cases, be the only existing copies. Flight diagrams are also held for many (but not all) sets of air photos. Some other related materials, such as montages of aerial photographs (orthophotos), are also represented in the collection.

The data on this CDROM is a digital re-production of the 1st edition 1990 geological outcrop map of the Quartz 1:100,000 map sheet 5951. A scanned image of the hardcopy map was digitised using Microstation and ArcInfo software. Digital standards are based on Geoscience Digital Data Dictionary for GIS Products Version 2004.01 for Geology and Lithology layers. The finished product has been provided as ArcView shapefiles and ArcInfo export files on CD-ROM. Internal quality assurance has been performed on the coverages. Stratigraphic nomenclature used is current as of June 15, 2005.

The Australian Crustal Elements dataset delineates upper crustal elements, primarily based on composite geophysical domains, each of which shows a distinctive pattern of magnetic and gravity anomalies. These elements generally relate to the basement, rather than the sedimentary basins. Boundaries between these elements are interpreted to mark crustal-scale changes in composition or structural pattern, or both. Where feasible, these boundaries are chosen to emphasise their correlation with the outcropping boundaries of geological provinces.

The North Australian Basins Resource Evaluation was a multidisciplinary project. Its aim was to provide the mineral exploration industry with a predictive chronostratigraphic basin framework in northern Australia. The project was a collaborative venture of the Commonwealth, Queensland and Northern Territory Governments, funded under the National Geoscience Mapping Accord. Industry collaboration provided access to confidential drill core and regional geophysical datasets.

Two full-colour map sheets (at 1:5 million and 1:10 million scales) that show the continental extent and age relationships of Proterozoic mafic and ultramafic rocks and associated mineral deposits throughout the continent. These rocks have been assigned to 30 Magmatic Events (ME) ranging in age from the Early Palaeoproterozoic ~2455 Ma (ME 1) to the Early Cambrian ~520 Ma (ME 30). The presence and correlation of these Magmatic Events into five Major Crustal Elements and 28 provinces are represented in a Time-Space-Event Chart on Sheet 2. Enlarged inset maps on Sheet 1 provide in more detail the polygon and line data of certain regions, and other inset maps on Sheet 2 show the distribution of Proterozoic and Archaean rocks, mineral deposits and occurrences, and five Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs). This national map supersedes two similar 'Proterozoic Mafic-Ultramafic Magmatic Events' maps relating to Western Australia (2006; GeoCat 64813) and the Northern Territory-South Australia (2007; GeoCat 65257). A user guide to the map series is described in Geocat 66624. A georeferenced image of the map Australian Proterozoic Mafic-Ultramafic Magmatic Events (Sheet 1) is also provided. The image shows spatial distribution of Proterozoic (2500 Ma to 545 Ma) mafic-ultramafic magmatic events in Australia. The map illustrates for the first time, the continental extent and age relationships of Proterozoic mafic and ultramafic rocks and their associated mineral deposits. The image has been georeferenced using ESRI ArcGIS 9.3 software.
