The Atlas of Australian Resources in 1963

Summary

This article reviews the progress of the second series of the Atlas of Australian Resources in 1963. Edited by the Department of National Development in Canberra, the second series commenced after the completion of the first series in 1960, with a planned production rate of three mapsheets per year while withdrawing old sheets from sale. The first mapsheet, 'Electricity', will replace 'Power and Fuel', followed by 'Population Distribution and Growth', 'Soils' (2nd edition), and other sheets. The article details the compilation progress, content adjustments (such as subdivision or amalgamation of topics), and changes in distribution channels, while welcoming suggestions for improvement.
