Placenames Reports present the results of toponymic work by researchers of the ANPS. All the Reports in this series are based on the principles of Survey research:
- documentation for each placename is recorded,
- an interpretation of the placename’s origin and history is formed,
- and the ‘story’ of the placenames is presented in an accessible form.
Reports are themed, generally (but not exclusively) according to region.
