Australasian Medical Directory & Handbook

The Australasian Medical Directory and Handbook has a large amount of statistics and current medical information for all of Australia and New Zealand, plus several of the Pacific Islands (Fiji, Samoa and New Caledonia). It includes a large amount of useful information for social historians and anyone looking to explore their past or build a family tree.

Included is:

• Laws applicable to the medical profession
• A directory of medical associations and departments (giving names and addresses)
• Information regarding medical courses and university regulations
• A listing of medical fees
• A complete directory of registered doctors
• Surgeons etc listing their qualifications and past experience
• Obituaries as well as relevant geographical information for the different states
• A general gazetteer and local directory for several country towns
• Statistics as well as a listing of medical periodicals

We've digitised five issues of the handbook for this set: 1883, 1886, 1892, 1896 and 1900.
