Metadata details
Biology_Logs_1948_1991
All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

Description
This is a parent record for a number of metadata records with links to scanned copies of biology logs from Australian Antarctic and subantarctic stations - 1948-1991. The logs include observations, notes and photographs of seals, penguins, petrels, skuas, whales, fishing, etc, as well as some general information on bird banding procedures, inductions, instructions, etc.
The documents have been collected form Macquarie Island, Casey, Davis, Wilkes, Mawson and the Windmill Islands.
Hard copies of the documents have been archived at the National Archives of Australia.
Quality
The quality of the scans may vary.
