Full description This project was established to document the involvement of the Australian Science Archives Project (ASAP) and subsequent organisations with the records of Ronald Gordon Giovanelli (1915-1984). Giovanelli, Chief of the Division of Physics, CSIRO, 1958-1976, left records at the National Standards Laboratory, Lindfield, N.S.W. and at his home. Dr. Lawrence Cram, who worked with Giovanelli, passed on the records that were left at NSL to the ASAP, after they had been combed for any remaining publishable material. Giovanelli remained active until his last days writing papers on his special field of solar physics. These records comprise 1.8 metres of correspondence, subject files, publications (reprints) and photographs covering the period 1940s-1980s. Materials still held by his widow were also surveyed shortly and combined with the other records. The papers were deposited in the Basser Library of the Australian Academy of Science.
