Series 4

Content Summary:

This series contains an extensive collection of publications and reports written by authors other than Alec Costin. The collection includes a wide range of scientific writing such as journal articles, research proposals, topographic maps and scholarly books but also more popular publications such as tourist maps, newspaper clippings and sales catalogues. It also includes related records such as correspondence, data, notes, drafts and a small number of photographs.

This series provides a unique insight into the publications which Costin drew on for his research and policy-related work. A large selection of correspondence related to this writing - between Costin and other authors - is also included, showing how he interacted with other authors and how their combined work contributed to the development of ecological research and conservation practices in Australia.

Immediate source of acquisition:

This large and diverse collection was compiled by Alec Costin then organised and catalogued by the eScholarship Research Centre at The University of Melbourne from 2017-2019. The collection was then transferred to the National Library of Australia in 2020.
