Handling the World's Dairy Literature

Commonwealth Bureau of Dairy Science and Technology, Shinfield, Reading, Berks, England¹

ABSTRACT

I am going to assume that you know very little of our organization and I will try to tell you as briefly as possible something about its history and purpose, the work which we do and how we do it. The Commonwealth Bureau of Dairy Science and Technology, of which I am Director, is one of the units of the Commonwealth Agricultural Bureaux, an organization which arose out of the recommendations of the Imperial Agricultural Research Conference of 1927, officially coming into being in 1929. Originally, eight Bureaux, covering different branches of agricultural science, were set up and the purpose of each individual Bureau was to act as an effective clearing house of information for scientists and research workers in its particular branch of agricultural science. Subsequently, two further Bureaux were established and three existing Institutes absorbed by the Organization which, today, consists of the Commonwealth Institutes of Entomology, Mycology, and Biological Control and the Commonwealth Bureaux of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Animal Health, Animal Nutrition, Dairy Science and Technology, Forestry, Helminthology, Horticulture and Plantation Crops, Pasture and Field Crops, Plant Breeding and Genetics, and Soils.
