期刊介绍： Historical Records of Australian Science is a bi-annual journal that publishes two kinds of unsolicited manuscripts relating to the history of science, pure and applied, in Australia, New Zealand and the southwest Pacific. Historical Articles–original scholarly pieces of peer-reviewed research Historical Documents–either hitherto unpublished or obscurely published primary sources, along with a peer-reviewed scholarly introduction. The first issue of the journal (under the title Records of the Australian Academy of Science), appeared in 1966, and the current name was adopted in 1980.
