Among some of the recent arrivals at the library are more than 150 field-trip guidebooks from the 28th International Geological Congress in Washington D.C. The guidebooks include trips through areas ranging from Alaska to Texas, and elsewhere in the U.S. Other recently acquired publications include a 1988 annual report on Alaska’s mineral resources, various geological maps from countries like Australia and Brazil, and numerous other international and domestic publications relevant to the mining industry.
Many publications come to the OGS mines library as gifts or on an exchange basis. A list of the recent acquisitions is available upon request from the library.
With more than 3,000 books, 500 serial titles, 20,000 maps and nearly 1,000 university theses, the OGS library probably contains the second-largest collection of such material in the country, exceeded only by that of the Geological Survey of Canada in Ottawa.
The library will be relocated to Sudbury from Toronto in 1991 as part of government’s plan to relocate the entire OGS.
