The Stanford Geological Survey (SGS) existed for 100 years, from 1895 until 1995. During this time, students and faculty went into the field to survey and map parts of California, Nevada, and Utah. The SGS manuscript collection has been available only to those who visited the library and located the few items shown in the library's catalog.

In the fall of 2001, Branner Earth Sciences Library and Map Collections received a grant from the California State Library to catalog, scan, and display the maps, field notebooks and field reports from this collection. The project now has over 450 maps and 50 field notebooks online. The collection can be viewed through the Luna Insight service.  See link to the left.

If you were a part of the Survey, please contact Branner Library to allow us to include your work in the project.
