The Canberra Conference on Mathematical Relativity was the highlight of a special program at the CMA which ran from June - August 1988. With over 40 people taking part and 27 talks packed into three days, the conference was a very stimulating and exhausting experience for all concerned. This volume contains reports on many of the talks presented and some contributed survey papers, and it is hoped that it will provide a good introduction to topics of current and future interest in mathematical relativity.
