Bibliography of the mining history of
Australia, New Zealand and
Papua New Guinea

Compiled by Mel Davies
Published in paper copy June 2002, with additional material to 2008

The 2003 edition of the listings was a much-expanded version of the 1997 compilation, A bibliography of Australian mining, both in terms of some 2,000 additional entries to the original work and for the inclusion of new sections on New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Since 2003 further additions have been made, though this expansion has not been carried on in a systematic way because of time constraints. Hopefully, as time goes on, the omissions will be placed in the bibliography.

You can order the 2008 bibliography as an Adobe pdf file on a CD from Mel Davies. Or you can download each chapter as a separate Acrobat pdf file. It is strongly recommended that you read the Contents file before viewing the General bibliography and chapters on states, territories and NZ and PNG.

Each of the states, territories and New Zealand and Papua New Guinea chapters, start with a General category and then is sub-divided into various categories Minerals (e.g., copper,; gold); Energy Sources (coal, petroleum products, uranium); Precious Stones; Associated Social and Economic History (including general and local history, mining law, etc.); Equipment, Structures, Processes & Transport ('Processes' was treated as a separate section in the 1997 edition of the bibliography); People & Organisations; Heritage Surveys, Archaeology & Environment.

Contents, General, New South Wales-ACT, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea.
