Introduction

Any cartobibliography that is not limited by time frame is never truly completed, and this one is no exception. I began work on in it in 1984 or thereabouts, when I was the Map Librarian at the Arthur Lakes Library, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, and where about 90 percent of the reference questions I answered were on geologic maps. I have been working on it off and on ever since - most recently with the assistance of two research grants from the Librarians Association of the University of California - and have finally reached the point where I realize I've done what I can, given the time I have available, and the fact that the collection with which I work now has relatively few geologic maps. Even with all that time and effort, there are still many question marks throughout the index.

I am therefore issuing this on the Web, for scholarly and research purposes. I would be most happy to receive any additions and corrections; I would especially be interested in receiving Web-site addresses of specific maps that are listed in the cartobibliography.

AUSTRALASIA

I. Maps - overall

Australia. Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics. 1965-1971. Geological map of the world: Australia and Oceania. Canberra. 1:5,000,000. 13 sheets.

Australia

The geological surveys of the various states have in the past and are presently carrying out mapping of their respective states; the Australian Geological Survey Organization (formerly the Bureau of Mineral Reousrces, Geology and Geophysics) has been active in producing overall maps and some series, and has worked in collaboration with the states in the past on the 1:250,000-scale series. It is also extremely active in working with and producing digital data, and has compiled in digital form national geoscience data sets, with images and Arc/Info coverages.
