The documents in this collection represent material that the Tennessee Geological Survey has acquired from numerous sources over the years. Many of the documents were donated by former employees of zinc companies that once operated in the state. Additional documents represent originals and copies of U.S. Geological Survey files related to the war minerals exploration program conducted in the 1940's, as well as unpublished work completed by the Tennessee Geological Survey. The material includes drill hole logs, geologic maps, cross sections, reports, geochemical analyses, mine maps, and internal company correspondance. All of the documents in the collection are available in digital format as Portable Document Files...

The Core Research Center (CRC) was established in 1974 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to preserve valuable rock cores for use by scientists and educators from government, industry, and academia. The cylindrical sections of rock are permanently stored and available for examination and testing at the core storage and research facility in Denver, Colorado. The CRC is currently one of the largest and most heavily used public core repositories in the United States. The CRC encourages use of its facility by all interested parties. Tours of the facility are available by appointment.

This collection (known internally to Maryland Geological Survey as Component 5A) consists of 103 photo-mosaic index maps (89 unique maps plus duplicates) dating from 1955-1981. The date printed on the index map (and listed in the metadata) is the date that flying (photography) was completed for each index map. Each photo-mosaic index map shows individual aerial photographs (with Flight Lines and Frame numbers) in a particular U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute or 15-minute quadrangle in Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Virginia, or West Virginia. These index maps are black-and-white and approximately 10 in. by 12 in. in size. This collection serves as a finding aid for a portion of the Quad-Based Aerial...

Field notes dating back to early 1900s are kept in the Washington Geological Survey library. Hundreds of volumes exist in the physical collection. Last notes in the library are from the 1980s when available space become a limitation. More recent notebooks are either retained by active staff or kept in the offices and at risk of being discarded. A storymap describing the collection is available at https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/77e291f5658a40af80029e025a8735e6

Hand specimens of rocks collected as a part of field work conducted primarily by present and former WGNHS staff members. Samples date from the early 20th century to the 1990s and were collected throughout the state. Many of the samples are described in the historical field notebook collection, and relationships between the samples and the field notebooks have been established and captured in identifiers. Locations for samples were taken from field notes, maps, and accession lists. There are approximately 5,700 hand samples in this collection.

George M. Colvocoresses was a mining engineer and metallurgist in Arizona. He was General Manager of Southwest Metals Company, Humboldt, AZ. It acquired Consolidated Arizona Smelting Company by the end of 1921. In 1920, Colvocoresses was appointed receiver for Consolidated Arizona Smelting Company out of Phoenix. This collection is comprised mainly of his reports on field visits, submittals from approximately 300 Arizona properties and 100 more properties in the Southwest. Subsequent additions to the collection after the 1940s came from his son, Alden P. Colvocoresses, or Bill Allison of Allison Steel Company.

The Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology (MBMG) compiled and maintains historical, engineering and geologic reports, pictures, correspondence, news clippings, and production information for over 4,400 property-specific records. A record or file may contain information related to a particular mining claim, a collection of claims, or a mining exploration project. The Mining Property File records are organized by Montana county and mine or project name.

Grover Heinrichs was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1925. As a child, he moved with his family through the western United States, the Philippines and South Africa. He was the Vice President of Heinrichs GEOEXploration, located in Tucson, Arizona, where his brother, Walter Heinrichs, Jr., was President. During his career as a geologist, he also worked or consulted for a number of other companies including the USGS, Phelps Dodge, United Technologies and Essex International. He was the Vice President of La Paz Mining Inc. from 1984 until the early '90s. He was a member of several professional organizations including the Arizona Geological Society, the Mining Club of the Southwest and the Society for Mining, Metallurgy...

This collection as a whole includes diamond drill core from hardrock/lode mineral prospects that have been donated to the Alaska Geologic Materials Center (GMC) by private entities or that have been recovered from properties during reclamation of historic mine and exploration sites by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The core is stored in waxed cardboard or plastic boxes. Mineralized portions, and in some cases the entire the core, has been split and sampled. Some core may have been quartered and sampled, or entirely consumed. The condition and completeness of the core varies widely. The individual records listed are comprised of diamond drill core from identified mineral prospects; it may include some coal prospects,...

In 2008, Virginia Department of Energy received by donation from the University of Virginia (UVA) a large collection of rock, mineral, and fossil specimens that was at risk of imminent disposal or dispersal due to the lack of adequate storage facilities. The collection includes many valuable and irreplaceable geologic specimens collected in Virginia by UVA students, faculty, and geoscientists from the early Virginia Geological Survey. Parts of the collection were at one time displayed in the Lewis Brooks Hall of Natural Science, which opened in 1877. Following the closure of the UVA Department of Geology in the 1960s, the collection was moved to various warehouse storage areas, where it was largely forgotten and...
