Abstract
This is the collection level record for the N.H. (Doc) Fisher Geoscience Library's collection of Antarctic geological field notebooks. Digitised copies of the notebooks were transcribed and validated in 2016-2017 by a dedicated team of volunteers from around Australia via the Australian Museum's DigiVol Citizen Science transcription platform. This project was managed by Information Services Librarian Jane Black with support from Geoscience Australia's Antarctic Geoscience team. The Antarctic field notebooks contain the geological observations recorded by Bureau of Mineral Resources geologists during their trips to Antarctica between 1948 – 1980s. Files include a scanned copy of the original handwritten field notebook, transcription of the notebook’s contents transcribed by volunteers and validated by an experienced geologist, and a csv file of the transcription with Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) tags. The original Antarctic field notebooks are held at the N.H. (Doc) Fisher Geoscience Library at Geoscience Australia, Canberra.
