ESA Symposia Proceedings

A series of publications that commenced in 1966 and ceased in 1988, ESA Proceedings gave those who did not attend the Society's symposia an opportunity to read the highlights from that meeting. Many of these became recognised as landmark publications in the field of ecological research. The rise of Austral Ecology (originally the Australian Journal of Ecology) as a forum for symposia research overtook the need for the Proceedings, which can now be found in scientific libraries around Australia.

ESA Proceedings were published by Surrey Beatty and Sons. Although out of print, interested parties can contact surreybeatty at iform.com.au and enquire about back issues.

"This interesting study attempts to record the individual and collective memories of important events and issues, to stop them from evaporating as people move away and archival material is lost or discarded." Ralph O Slayter
