An Introduction to the Astronomical Archives of Australia and New Zealand

Wayne Orchiston

After summarising key elements in the astronomical histories of Australia and New Zealand, we provide master lists of the principal astronomical records found in the archives, libraries, museums, observatories and government research institutes of these two Oceanic nations. In preparing these two national inventories, we address one of the primary objectives of the IAU's Working Group on Astronomical Archives.
