The new digital format will allow community access to the extensive information, maps and photographs of the Australian continent that each atlas contains.

The Atlas of Australia series comprises six editions, four of which are now available free online, with the two remaining volumes (Climate and Population) to be made available in the future.

The available volumes are: Soils & Land Use (1980), Agriculture (1982), Geology & Minerals (1988) and Vegetation (1990).
