Index To The BGS Collection Of Geologist's Field Notebooks And Section Books.

An index to the manuscript notebook collection was set up in the 1990's. The notebooks contain detailed information gathered by Survey geologists (or other recognised geologists) from various sources as part of the mapping of Great Britain. Examples include observations linked directly to field slips, borehole logs, sections and drawings. All the notebooks held by NGRC are indexed but other notebooks held in the Library may not be included. The index is to the notebooks and is not a detailed index of the information in the notebook. Detailed information from coalfield areas is held in the Happs Hall Index. For the basic field mapping work notebooks have now been replaced by field record sheets.
