The Australian National Research Council was formed in 1919 with the object of representing Australia on the International Research Council and generally promoting in Australia the cause of scientific research. The Council established fellowships, prepared material on aspects of Australian scientific development and published several journals. In 1954 the Council went out of existence in favour of the Australian Academy of Science. The last meeting of the Executive Committee of the ANRC was in October 1955.

(The ANRC records are held at the National Library of Australia MS482).

The Committee on Anthropological Research was funded by the Rockefeller Foundation between 1926-1938 and chaired by professor of Anthropology at the University of Sydney. The Committee's responsibilities included planning and conducting anthropological research in Australia, the Australian Territory of Papua, the Mandated Territory of New Guinea and Melanesia, including the British Solomon Islands Protectorate.
