Information Day at the British Geological Survey
Friday 4 December 2009
The British Geological Survey invites you to a tour of its information resources,
encompassing its Records Centre, Materials Collections, Library, Enquiry
services, and 3D Visualisation Suite on the morning of Friday, 4 December
2009. The tour will focus on the value of our extensive holdings and how we
manage them. Highlighting geological surveying techniques, both current and
historical, the tour will show the wide variety of information we can provide for
engineers, geologists, planners, academics, consultants and others.
There will also be an opportunity to preview displays and demonstrations that
will be open to the general public on Saturday 5 December, in support of the
National Archives Awareness Campaign 2009 (www.archiveawareness.com).
The BGS theme this year is “Voyages of Discovery – from Darwin to the Moon
and beyond” (www.bgs.ac.uk).
You are welcome to stay for lunch and, during the afternoon, to explore
individual sections of our archives at greater length.
Due to the nature of our work we are only able to provide this type of access
on an annual basis and places are limited. We hope this is of interest and that
you and your colleagues will be able to attend.
There is no charge for this event, to book a place please contact Becky
