The Corporate Administrative Records Collection of Geoscience Australia (GA) is a bi fold collection; consisting of electronic/digital documents and records in physical paper format. GA's corporate administrative records in physical format are created by the Records Management Unit upon request from staff members when their needs meet specific criteria. The files themselves are bound in cardboard folders and labelled and bar-coded according to their respective classification level and metadata information. Individually, the files are a detailed narrative of specific business activities; describing all of the administrative processes that occurred during an activity. The collection is organised according to a year series system; a method which has been constant throughout GA's evolution. The collection also consists of inherited physical records from various government departments. These include the AFFA series from the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Australia and the UB Series, sourced from the Uranium Branch. In collaboration with the relevant government departments, GA acceded custody of these series, and they are now managed in juxtaposition with the entire GA collection.

The Corporate Administrative Records Collection of Geoscience Australia (GA) is a bi fold collection; consisting of electronic/digital documents and records in physical paper format. The digital collection consists of electronic information, which may be "born digital" (created using computer technology) or converted into digital form from their original format (e.g. scans of paper documents). These records are created by all GA employees and are evidence of business conducted by GA and its predecessors. The location of these digital records is in TRIM (electronic document management system). This product treats documents and records in the same way, so that end users perform the same task on all items that are stored in the system, irrespective of whether the item is a document or is to be declared as a record. The digital records can be captured in any format; e.g. excel document, word document, pdf document, emails, etc. When a user saves a document for the first time in TRIM they are prompted for metadata, which is then used to create the record.

These products form part of the exhibition celebrating GA's involvement in the ACT and are produced as part of the ACT centenary.

Significant advances in regional exploration and surface materials mapping are possible using spectral data and specialized remote sensing methods. Benefits for mineral explorers, land-users, government and university researchers are now available using improved ASTER calibration techniques. HyMap and ASTER calibration, processing and standardisation approaches have been produced as part of a large multi agency project to facilitate uptake of these techniques and make them easily integrated with other datasets in a GIS. Collaborative research comprising Geoscience Australia, the Commonwealth Scientific Research Organisation (CSIRO) and state and industry partners, on the world-class Mt Isa mineral province in Queensland was completed in 2008 as a test-case for some new methods. The project demonstrated that geochemical information about mineral deposit 'footprints' and alteration chemistry can be acquired by analysing spectral ground response, particularly in the short-wave infra-red. Key materials that can be identified include clays and magnesium/ iron/ aluminium oxyhydroxides, as well as information on mineral composition, abundance and physicochemistries (including crystallinity) for minerals such as kaolinite, which can be used as a surrogate for identifying transported versus in situ regolith material. The identification and classification of regolith materials and thickness indicators is essential to facilitate on-going exploration in many challenging regions such as South Australia.
