Feature Expedition

AM Mineralogy & Petrology - Chapman Datasheets Box 1

Field notesAustralian Museum Mineralogy & Petrology Collection

These datasheets are the records of the Albert Chapman collection. Chapman, through his dedication and passion for fine minerals, assembled one of the top ten private mineral collections of the world. Phillip Black, a Curator at the Geological and Mining Museum transcribed these notes while Albert spoke about the specimens.

This expedition is part of the Australian Museum's Collection Enhancement Project (CEP). The CEP will result in new levels of access to the AM’s diverse collections, making digital images and meta data easily accessible to First Nations communities, scientists, researchers, students and individuals from Australia and abroad.
