Description

The Encyclopedia of Australian Science and Innovation is a register of the people, industries, corporations, research institutions, scientific societies, awards, major events and other organisations that have contributed to Australia’s scientific, technological, engineering and medical heritage. Each entry has references to their archival materials, museum objects and collections, and to bibliographic resources, including historical and current literature.

Exploring the Encyclopedia, you can discover the role people and organisations have played in transforming science into processes, objects, buildings, and products that have influenced our lives and have contributed to the development of our nation. You can find out where they worked, who they worked with, what they worked on and what they achieved. In 2025 the Encyclopedia included about 95% of the key people and organisations involved in Australian science from colonisation until the mid 20th Century.’ See more (Encyclopedia of Australian Science and Innovation | About)
