Legacy Bulletins

The earliest Bulletins pre-date the creation of the Bureau of Mineral Resources. They were written by the first two Commonwealth Palaeontologists, Frederick Chapman and Irene Crespin, and published as Palaeontological Bulletins between 1932 and 1938. When the BMR decided to launch a regular series of Bulletins in 1952, these three earlier works were retrospectively included. The purpose of the later Bulletins was to present broad regional or thematic summaries of the agency's investigations, often aggregating results described in a number of earlier Records, Reports or other publications. The series ceased with Bulletin 247 in 2001.
