Summary

The Australian Science History Club was established when the Colonial Science Club underwent a change of name. The Club is an informal grouping, presenting papers and seminars on historical aspects of Australian science, technology, engineering and medicine. The club ceased to exist as such in late 2005 when its activities and membership transferred to the Australian Society for the History of Engineering and Technology (ASHET).
