Main Acknowledgements
Numerous people have contributed the construction of the bibliography, and I would like to express my thanks to all of them. In particular, Fauno Cordes, whose pioneering research into the field of fictional representations of Antarctica has provided a wonderful springboard for further scholarly study, has been very generous and enthusiastic in supplying information and material. This bibliography is designed to complement her existing bibliography of Antarctic fiction and place-names, "Tekeli-Li"; anyone using the present bibliography should certainly visit "Tekeli-Li."

A number of libraries and librarians have been very helpful in assisting our research, particularly Graeme Watt at the Australian Antarctic Division Library; Hilary Shibata at the Scott Polar Research Institute Library in Cambridge; Stephen Martin and his colleagues at the State Library of New South Wales, especially those maintaining the Mitchell Library and Dixson Library collections; and the staff at the Fisher Library, University of Sydney; the University of Canterbury Library, Christchurch, New Zealand; and the Tasmaniana section of the State Library of Tasmania, Hobart.

Many researchers and creative writers provided leads or contributed advice and comments, including Bill Manhire, William Fox, Valmar Kurol, Bernadette Hince, Lester Chaplow, Kathryn Yusoff, Gordon Bain and Craig Cormick.

Stephanie Pfennigwerth's efforts while working on the bibliography were untiring and her enthusiasm unflagging. Damian Murphy gave support and encouragement throughout the project.

This bibliography would not have been possible without the support of the University of Tasmania, which provided an Institutional Research Grant for a project which included the construction of the bibliography. I am grateful to the University for this support.
