Site Library

This on-line library of historical documents and publications is available to view and download, BUT please respect any copyright that may apply. Also any recommendations on the use of chemicals contained therein were appropriate at the time, and maybe now superseded, and so it is important to check whether the chemical is still registered and what are the current label recommendations.

Whilst the collection is extensive, it is by no means complete, and is added to as documents are discovered in various archives and personal collections.

For ease in searching the library, documents and publications have been thematically grouped. Please take the time to look at the Collection notes, where provided, as they provide a brief background and historical context.

Research & Technical Reports

There are also copies of papers authored by Forests Commission staff and which were published in Australian Forest Research. The history of forest research and an explanation of the suite of documentation can be found here.
