Reference List

The reference list below represents those books that were used as reference material in the construction of this site. There are many other worthy books on South Georgia, many of which we have been made aware of as the project has gone on. We are always looking to add more works, and for this page to reflect as much material on South Georgia as possible. Apologies for all those authors whose work we have not included, and if you contact us - we will place the publication alongside those shown here.We have also been aware that many of the publications illustrated are out of print or difficult to obtain, we can only suggest searching for them on online auctions, or through specialist online bookstores.

A further comprehensive list can be found on the South Georgia Wiki here.
