The institutionalization of History and Philosophy of Science as a
distinct field of scholarly endeavour began comparatively earl-
though not always under that name - in the Australasian region. An
initial lecturing appointment was made at the University of
Melbourne immediately after the Second World War, in 1946, and
other appoint ments followed as the subject underwent an expansion
during the 1950s and 1960s similar to that which took place in
other parts of the world. Today there are major Departments at the
University of Melbourne, the University of New South Wales and the
University of W ollongong, and smaller groups active in many other
parts of Australia and in New Zealand. 'Australasian Studies in
History and Philosophy of Science' aims to provide a distinctive
pUblication outlet for Australian and New Zealand scholars working
in the general area of history, philosophy and social studies of
science. Each volume comprises a group of essays on a connected
theme, edited by an Australian or a New Zealander with special
expertise in that particular area. Papers address general issues,
however, rather than local ones; parochial topics are avoided.
Further more, though in each volume a majority of the contributors
is from Australia or New Zealand, contributions from elsewhere are
by no means ruled out. Quite the reverse, in fact - they are
actively encouraged wherever appropriate to the balance of the
volume in question."
