University of Wollongong Archives (WUA) D Collections D290 Roy MacLeod Collection Creator: Professor Roy MacLeod Historical Note: Roy MacLeod is Professor Emeritus of History, and an Honorary Associate in the History and Philosophy of Science and the Centre for International Security Studies at the University of Sydney. He was educated in History, the Biochemical Sciences, and the History of Science at Harvard University, in sociology at the London School of Economics, and in History and the History of Science at Cambridge, where he received his PhD in 1967. In recognition of his work, he has since been awarded a Doctorate of Letters from Cambridge (2001), and an honorary doctorate from the University of Bologna (2005), and has received prizes and honours from several institutions in Germany, Sweden, Belgium, and Britain. In 1971, he co-founded the quarterly journal Social Studies of Science, and was its co-editor until 1991. Between 2000 and 2008, he served as Editor in Chief of Minerva, and currently serves on the editorial boards of several other journals. He is the author or editor of twenty-five books and some 150 articles in the social history of science, medicine and technology, military history, Australian, American and European history, university history, research policy, and policy for higher education. The Nuclear Archives at Wollongong reflects the nature and content of research and graduate course work begun and led by Professor MacLeod for over three decades. The archives date from 1945, and hold much material relating to the Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC), and its successor, the Australian National Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), as well as the history of uranium mining, weapons testing, environmental reportage, and nuclear diplomacy, both in Australia and around the world. In addition, there are materials relating to debates in Australia on the prospects for civil nuclear power and potential sites for containing nuclear waste. Professor MacLeod has placed his collection at UoW in consultation with the Science and Technology Studies program in Wollongong’s Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts, in the hope of seeing these rich materials contribute to wider academic inquiry and discussion.
