National Library of Australia, Canberra, 17–18 September 1998
| The National Academies Forum and the National Library of Australia presented the Malthus Bicentenary Conference on 17 and 18 September at the National Library. Malthus and his legacy: 200 years of the population debate commemorates the 200th anniversary of the publication of 'An Essay on the Principle of Population' by
the Rev T.R. Malthus.
It offered an outstanding opportunity to listen to speakers discussing the impact of Malthus and his book on the population debate from the late 18th century to the 21st century. Speakers at the forefront of scholarship ranging across demography, history, economics and medical science discussed the impact of Malthus' theory in the context of his time, and look forward to consider his influence upon contemporary debates about population, resources and the environment.
