Abstract |
This Directory lists institutions holding original source material for the history of oceanography, dating from 1600 to 1950. These materials include apparatus, collections of geological and biological samples and specimens, data, documents and written archives, and photographs. For each institution (listed by country) the Directory gives name, address, accessibility and services offered, and details of the holdings, mentioning important items. The Directory is intended to help scientists to locate earlier material relating to their present topic or area of study, to show historians where surviving records may be found, and to remind institutions holding this unique material of its value. |
