Log of Visit to Australia-New Zealand, 1947, volume 1. Front cover
Abstract
After the Second World War the Corporation hired Whitney H. Shepardson as a director for the British Dominion and Colonies Fund. He traveled extensively, and came to the conclusion that the overseas scientists suffered from isolation, being cut off from their US and Canadian colleagues by the war and travel expenses. He then revived the program of travel grants on a much broader scale. This is th e first volume in a five-volume log of his 1947 trip.
