6 linear feet

The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences provides both undergraduate and graduate students with field and lab experience. Begun in the 1830s, the separate geology and mineralogy programs merged in 1961. In 1979 the name was changed to Geological Sciences. Records of the department include faculty and staff meeting minutes, 1913-1987; correspondence, 1960-1972; and records pertaining to charges of research data fabrication against a former student.

The Department of Geology record group covers the period from 1913 to 1987. A run of faculty and staff meeting minutes documents the entire period, while later series illuminate activities in the 1940s, 1960s, and 1970s. The records are arranged in the following series: Alumni Directory and Faculty Reprints, Departmental Correspondence, Faculty and Staff Meeting Minutes, and Wilson W. Crook, III Case Files.
