Antarctic Field Notebooks

This is the collection level record for the N.H. (Doc) Fisher Geoscience Library's collection of Antarctic geological field notebooks. Digitised copies of the notebooks were transcribed and validated in 2016-2017 by a dedicated team of volunteers from around Australia via the Australian Museum's DigiVol Citizen Science transcription platform. This project was managed by Information Services Librarian Jane Black with support from Geoscience Australia's Antarctic Geoscience team.The Antarctic field notebooks contain the geological observations recorded by Bureau of Mineral Resources geologists during their trips to Antarctica between 1948 – 1980s. Files include a scanned copy of the original handwritten field notebook, transcription of the notebook’s contents transcribed by volunteers and validated by an experienced geologist, and a csv file of the transcription with Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) tags. The original Antarctic field notebooks are held at the N.H. (Doc) Fisher Geoscience Library at Geoscience Australia, Canberra.

本数据集为N.H.（多克）·费舍尔地质科学图书馆（N.H. (Doc) Fisher Geoscience Library）所藏南极地质野外笔记馆藏的集合级记录。2016至2017年间，来自澳大利亚各地的志愿者团队通过澳大利亚博物馆（Australian Museum）的DigiVol公民科学转录平台，完成了这批笔记数字化副本的转录与校验工作。本项目由信息服务馆员简·布莱克（Jane Black）负责管理，并得到了澳大利亚地球科学局（Geoscience Australia）南极地质科学团队的支持。这批南极野外笔记收录了澳大利亚矿产资源局地质学家于1948年至20世纪80年代间赴南极考察期间记录的地质观测资料。数据集文件包含：原始手写野外笔记的扫描件、经志愿者转录并由资深地质学家校验的笔记内容转录文本，以及带有文本编码倡议（Text Encoding Initiative, TEI）标签的转录文本CSV文件。原始南极野外笔记现馆藏于堪培拉澳大利亚地球科学局下属的N.H.（多克）·费舍尔地质科学图书馆。
