The multi-page mineral survey reports contain historical, hand-written information on mineral commodities, surrounding geology, lithologic maps, stratigraphic columns, cross sections, and cultural features listed for a single county, township, and range, with more detailed information for each section. These historical documents show the in-depth analyses of the state’s natural resources during the time of heightened interest in mineral exploration throughout the country. These documents provide valuable information for routine mineralogical and lithological inquiries.

Former agency geologists analyzed core and cuttings to produce 971 hand drawn logs that cover wells that were drilled from 1920's to 1970 and include coverage of the entire state. Strip logs are produced from data collected from drilling and then transfered to strips of paper. The logs contain a graphic column that describes the rock types encountered during drilling with the use of colors and patterns. These colors and patterns are made with pencil, pen, and colored pencils. To the side of the column contains the lithologic description of rock units.

The Arkansas Geological Survey (AGS) has developed a project plan that includes the scanning of rare books of various ages, some dating back to 1858. The rare book collection includes annual reports for the Arkansas Geological Survey, dating back to its inception in 1857. These one of a kind historical representations provide valuable information about the agency and its history that can not be found anywhere else. These documents are a matter of public record, currently available on a very limited basis due to their fragile nature.

Arkansas Geological Survey (AGS) preserved and digitized 1,497 photographs. The collections mostly cover information published from the 1920s to the late 1940s, with outliers originating from the late 1800s to the early 1990s and shows information that is pertinent to the Arkansas Geological Survey. The photograph collection shows geologic topics and sites from around the state.
