Description

Where are the Women in Australian Science? provides information about women and the roles they played in the history of Australian science, technology and medicine from the earliest periods of European engagement to the present day. The original exhibition linked to biographical, bibliographical and archival information held in the Encyclopedia of Australian Science database (2010-2019).

This exhibition was a project of the National Foundation for Australian Women and the Australian Science and Technology Heritage Centre of the University of Melbourne. Work on this project was generously funded by a 2002-2003 capacity building grant under the Women's Development Programme administered by the Commonwealth Office of the Status of Women.

From March 2022 the exhibition has been regenerated with each edition of the Encyclopedia of Australian Science and Innovation so that the lists of women in the various catagories reflects the current data.
