Authorized by Congress in 1879, the US Geological Survey (USGS) Library is recognized as one of the world’s largest Earth and natural science libraries, providing services, collections, and expertise that are essential to the USGS mission and the global geoscience community. The USGS Library is a multisite, centralized library, providing bureau-wide access to scholarly journals and research support services to USGS employees around the nation. An important role of the USGS Library is the preservation of its unique physical collections, ensuring continued access for future generations.

Collections of physical samples and data managed and preserved by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The separate collections are managed by different projects and Mission Areas of the USGS. The collections are distributed across the United States, in various USGS offices. Preservation of some of these collections may be supported by the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program. USGS strives to publicly expose its materials, data, and other research to further scientific inquiry. Points of contact for individual collections may be contacted to request access to materials and data.

The mission of the Colorado Geological Survey is building vibrant economies and sustainable communities, free from geologic hazards, for people to live, work and play through good science, collaboration, and sound management of mineral, energy and water resources. Geoscientific collections managed by Colorado Geological Survey are aggregated in the National Digital Catalog to enhance discovery and use of valuable samples and data for further scientific research. Contact information and material access instructions are provided for the individual collections.
These are scientific collections of the USGS Volcano Science Center. The Volcano Science Center is the primary center serving the mission of the USGS Volcano Hazards Program — to enhance public safety and minimize social and economic disruption from volcanic unrest and eruption. The center is home to the five US volcano observatories with offices in Anchorage, Alaska; Menlo Park and Mountain View, California; Vancouver, Washington; and Hilo, Hawaii. Volcano monitoring and research conducted at five U.S. volcano observatories advances our understanding of active volcanism and its impacts, and enables the USGS Volcano Hazards Program to provide information about and warnings of volcanic activity in the United States....
These are scientific collections managed by the USGS Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center (GECSC). GECSC researchers conduct multi-purpose geologic mapping and topical scientific studies to address issues concerning geologic, climatic, ecosystem, and land surface changes; human interactions with the environment; and physical, chemical, and biological characterization of the Earth's surface and upper crust.
The USGS Astrogeology Science Center is a national resource for the integration of planetary geoscience, cartography, and remote sensing.
The USGS Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center is one of three centers serving the mission of the USGS Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program—the primary Federal marine geology and physical science research program responsible for the Nation’s entire coastal and marine landscape.
These are collections managed by the USGS Geology, Energy & Minerals Science Center (GEMSC). The GEMSC represents a breadth of programs focused on the USGS mission; the Energy Resources Program, Mineral Resources Program, National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program, and Environmental Health Programs. GEMSC conducts comprehensive, interdisciplinary research and surveys of the origin, occurrence, distribution, quantity, and composition of oil, gas, coal, minerals, and associated deposits.
These are collections managed by the USGS Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center (GGGSC). GGGSC is based in Denver, Colorado and conducts scientific investigations that answer societally relevant questions with a focus on the Mineral Resources Program. The overall mission of the Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center (GGGSC) is to apply expertise in geology, geophysics, and geochemistry to interdisciplinary efforts supporting the USGS mission to address the Nation’s important earth science issues, with emphasis on providing unbiased research and information on mineral resources. Our vision is to make our geoscience knowledge public, and to contribute, in a manner that is useful for formulating...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center (OK-TXWSC) works in cooperation with approximately 100 municipalities, river authorities, groundwater districts, and State and Federal agencies in Texas and Oklahoma to provide reliable, impartial scientific information to resource managers, planners, and other customers. This information is gathered by the USGS OK-TXWSC to minimize the loss of life and property from natural disasters, to contribute to the conservation and sound economic and physical development of the Nation’s natural resources, and to enhance the quality of life by monitoring water, biological, energy, and mineral resources. This ScienceBase community serves as a USGS OK-TXWSC...
These are scientific collections managed by the USGS New Mexico Water Science Center (NMWSC). The mission of the NMWSC is to collect, analyze, and distribute the impartial hydrologic data and information needed to wisely manage water resources for the people of the United States and the State of New Mexico. Much of our data are publicly available through the USGS National Water Information System, but additional collections of data are available here. NMWSC scientists have a wide range of expertise in many areas of water science, including: water quality, groundwater, surface water, water use, wildfire-caused flooding and debris flows, and snow hydrology. We partner with Federal, State, and local agencies to provide...

Geoscientific collections managed by Virginia Energy, Geology and Mineral Resources program are aggregated in ReSciCol to enhance discovery and use of valuable samples and data for further scientific research. Contact information and material access instructions are provided for the individual collections.
These are scientific collections managed by the USGS Wyoming-Montana Water Science Center (WMWSC). WMWSC uses state-of-the-art techniques for data collection and interpretation. Our scientists have a wide range of expertise in all areas of water science, including: water quality, groundwater, surface water, water use, geospatial analysis, and evaluating aquatic ecosystems. We are a team of hydrologists, engineers, geospatial analysts, hydrologic technicians, geologists, and support staff working to provide hydrologic data and interpretive studies. We partner with Federal, State, and local agencies to provide impartial scientific analyses of water in Wyoming and Montana. The center has five offices located in major...
The Western Ecological Research Center (WERC) is a USGS Ecosystems Mission Area operation serving primarily California and Nevada. WERC scientists work closely with Federal, State, academic, and other collaborators to address a diverse array of high-profile topics. Topics include research on effects of wildfire, sea level rise, drought, energy development and more on federal Trust species.
