The Australian Science and Technology Heritage Centre (Austehc), lasted from 1999 to 2006,[1] was a non-profit organisation that received the majority of its funding from collaborative works with the government and industry groups.[2] Austehc was a part of the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Melbourne. The main purpose and objective of the centre was to help preserve all the historical works relating to Australian science, technology, and medicine. By utilising more advanced technology, all the information within the centre could be easily accessed by anyone.[1]
Originally, Austehc was called the Australian Science Archives Project (ASAP), but was later changed after facing some challenges in May 1999.[3] Their two most popular projects were Bright Sparc, which was developed in 1994, and Australian Science at Work, developed in 1999.[4] Later on, these two projects merged with each other and became known as Encyclopedia of Australian Science during the time of Austehc's successor, the eScholarship Research Centre.[5]
