Summary

The Queensland Palaeontographical Society (QPS) was founded in 1962 by Dorothy Hill and Jack Woods. It was the first specialist palaeontological society on Australia. The Society published a number of booklets between 1964 and 1972 on the palaeontology of Queensland. In 1969 several Fellows of the Geological Society of Australia (GSA), including Martin Glaessner and Maxwell Banks, formed the group Palaeontology and Biostratigraphy, a Specialist Group of the GSA. This Group merged with the QPS in 1974 to become the Association of Australasian Palaeontologists, also a Specialist group of the GSA.
