Abstract
Three geologists left Australia in 1951 to conduct geological surveys in Pakistan, under the auspices of the Colombo Plan which provides technical assistance for member countries in South and South East Asia. The main objects were to conduct an economic and general geological survey of a selected part of the Gilgit Agency, to examine the alluvial-gold prospects of the Chitral River, and, if time permitted, to discuss the Sind and East Bengal lignites with the Director of the Pakistan Geological Survey. The field notebooks contain the geological observations recorded by the geologists during their trip. Files include a scanned copy of the original handwritten field notebook, transcription of the notebook’s contents, and a csv file of the transcription with Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) tags. The original field notebooks are held at the N.H. (Doc) Fisher Geoscience Library at Geoscience Australia, Canberra.
