Abstract: This Bibliography is of material about the history of science and technology in the Australasian region.Much of this material relates to Australia, but also extends to New Zealand, New Guinea and islands close to Australia, and Antarctica.Science is interpreted broadly to cover the natural sciences (physics, mathematics, geology, geography and natural history).Technology (applied sciences) includes medical and health sciences, agriculture and related subjects, and engineering and technology.Human sciences (anthropology and psychology) are also included.Biographical references are of particular importance.Sources used in compiling the Bibliography include an extensive range of journals and the digital resources of several of Australia's most comprehensive libraries.Material included ranges from books and reviews to journal articles and sections from encyclopaedic works.Theses and electronic publications are also included where relevant.Assistance in compiling the Bibliography has come from several sources and proved invaluable.It is a pleasure to thank my colleagues at the Encyclopedia of Australian Science and Innovation, Gavan McCarthy and Ken McInnes.Tom Darragh and Sara Maroske were also most helpful.In particular, Monika Wells, as proof-reader, invariably finds errors that the compiler has missed.Readers are urged to let the compiler know about their own publications and others of which they may be aware: they probably have sources of information that have escaped the attention of the compiler.Information may be sent to the email address above.Please note the bibliography is a joint project with the Encyclopedia of Australian Science and Innovation (http://www.eoas.info/)and adopts the documentation style of the Encyclopedia.
