Abstract: The present work is limited to those papers of Sir Joseph Banks which are held in the Mitchell and Dixson collections at the State Library of New South Wales, in Sydney, Australia. These amount to approximately 10,000 manuscript pages and include correspondence, principally letters received, but also reports, invoices and accounts, journals, plus a small quantity of maps, charts and watercolours. While many of these documents have been published in various works before, the collection is published here for the first time in facsimile, and extensively indexed. [Information of the supplier]
