Chapter XII-XIII of Bibliography 8.0 contains 92 pages, 8 sub-chapters. and 608 references. It combines a
collection of papers of historic interest for geological research in the Indonesian region since the mid-1800s,
and listings of more than 415 of the most relevant geoscience journals and conference proceedings and the
organizations that published them.
It is subdivided in two topics with 8 sub-chapters:
XII. REFERENCES- HISTORIC INTEREST, LITERATURE SOURCES
XII.1. Historic Interest, Biographies
XII.2. Earlier Bibliographies
XIII. INDONESIA GEOSCIENCE LITERATURE SOURCES
XIII.1. Pre-1945 Dutch colonial period Geological Organizations/ Journals
XIII.2. Post 1945 - Indonesian Government Geoscience Institutes and Journals
XIII.3. Indonesian Professional Geoscientists Associations
XIII.4. Indonesian Universities/ Academic institutes
XIII.5. Circum-Indonesia and International not-for-profit geoscience journals
XIII.6. International Geoscience Journals- Commercial publishers
The attached pdf consists of both a detailed bibliography as well as introductions to each of the chapters.
Sub-chapter XII.1 of Bibliography 8.0 contains 522 historic interest papers, including obituaries. Much of this
history and its key contributors were discussed in detail by Van Gorsel (2009, IPA, Jakarta) and in the 4
volumes of Pioneers and milestones of Indonesian geology (Van Gorsel, 2022, ITB Press, Bandung).

XII.2. Bibliographies
This sub-chapter XII.2 contains 81 references to some of the earlier bibliographic work done for the Indonesia
and SE Asia region. The current bibligraphy resumes a long tradition of annotated bibliography work that was
started by Verbeek (1912) after he had retired from a long career of geological survey work in Indonesia. His
initial 1912 volume with 2665 titles on the geology and mining in and around the 'Netherlands East Indies' was
followed by 12 supplements between 1914 and 1925, totaling about 4000 titles.
This work was continued by Wing Easton (1926-1937), De Neve (1950, 1951), Steenhuis (1951), Klompe
(1954-1957) and Tjia (1977). Not much was done since then until 2009 when the the first edition of this
Bibliography was published in IPA Convention proceedings (Van Gorsel 2009, 2011).
XIII. Indonesia Geoscience Literature Sources
The publications listed in this Bibliography of Indonesia/ SE Asia geoscience come from an overwhelming
body of published information. Below is a listing of the principal ~415 (!) journals and regularly scheduled
Conference Proceedings, in which geoscience papers on the Indonesian region have been published since the
mid-1800s, listed under the organizations that published them.
They have here been categorized as:
XIII.1: Pre-1945 Dutch colonial era journals (23 journals/periodicals);
XIII.2: Post-1945 Indonesian Government geoscience Institutes and journals (33 journals/ periodicals);
XIII.3: Indonesian Professional Geoscientists Associations (21 journals/ periodicals);
XIII.4: Indonesian Universities/ Academic institutes (31 geoscience departments with ~65 geoscience journals);
XIII.5. Circum-Indonesia and other International Geoscience Organizations (149 journals);
XIII.6. International Commercial Geoscience Publishers (nine leading publishers with 104 geoscience journals, plus an additional 22 miscellaneous international journals
These numbers do not include 910 academic theses with Indonesia/ SE Asia geoscience content, from
universities all over the world, 100s of standalone books, and the vast amount of proprietary geoscience data
in industry and government files.
