BMR Annual Report

Although the Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics was created in 1946, it did not compile an annual report until 1971. The series continued under this title up to 1976, all but the last providing summaries of annual activities by broad sections (functions and organisation, field operations, laboratory studies, observatories, and so on). The 1976 Annual Report adopted a shorter format, a general outline of the role, objectives and programs of the Bureau being followed by a selection of short articles on the "more innovative and conclusive activities" of that year. This new format was retained in 1977 when a title change was made and the annual summaries became known as BMR Yearbooks.

尽管矿产资源、地质与地球物理局（Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics）成立于1946年，但直至1971年才开始编制年度报告。该系列报告以该名称延续至1976年，除最后一期（1976年刊）外，其余各期均按宽泛的职能板块对年度工作进行总结，涵盖职能与组织架构、野外作业、实验室研究、观测台站等领域。1976年年度报告采用了更精简的版式：先概述该局的职能、目标与项目规划，随后选取若干短文介绍当年“更具创新性与结论性的工作活动”。1977年，该全新版式得以沿用，同时年度总结报告更名为《BMR年鉴》（BMR Yearbooks）。
