ACIAR is making Dr Burke Hill's collection of material relating to Scylla available online.

A summary of Dr Hill's work and its importance is here.

The collection was given to Dr Meryl Williams (Chair of the ACIAR Commission) on Dr Hill's death in 2006. Dr Williams has catalogued the collection and, with additional input from Dr Steve Blaber, the catalogue will form the basis of the collection

This collection is being published online to allow others to benefit from Dr Hill's work in this area. For more information on the contents of the collection see the Scylla collection catalogue.
