Abstract
Can you help the Geoscience Australia Library? We are seeking the field notebooks of any geologists who worked for the Bureau of Mineral Resources (BMR) in Antarctica, especially those from the 1950s-80s, to include in our digitisation project. Tucked away in archive boxes in the basement compactus of the Geoscience Australia Library in Canberra, lie over 3500 geol ogical field notebooks. These notebooks contain the observations of BMR geologists from the 1940s onwards as they worked their way across Australia, parts of Papua New Guinea and Pakistan, and the Australian Antarctic Territory. Around 100 Antarctic field notebooks are the focus of a pilot digitisation project to improve access to the rich data they contain and ensure they are preserved for future generations to use.
