Summary
The Encyclopedia of Australian Science was an online register of people, corporations, research institutions, scientific societies and other organisations that have contributed to Australia's scientific, technological and medical heritage. It was published from 2010 to 2019.
It incorporated the following data on people and organisations: name; alternative names; date and place of birth and death if known; occupations or fields of specialisation; a summary note outlining their life and work; a timeline of career positions or events; a list of other registered people, organisations and archival holdings and published resources they are connected to.
The registry was managed by the eScholarship Research Centre at the University of Melbourne. The registry was formed in February 2010 with the amalgamation of two previously separate databases, Bright Sparcs (1994-2010) and Australian Science at Work (1999-2010). In 2022 it was rebranded as the Encyclopedia of Australian Science and Innovation and published by the Centre for Transformative Innovation, Swinburne University of Technology.
