Library Collections

These pages contain information on the collections held by the Geological Society Library.  Follow links to find out more about book, serial, map and archive holdings.

All books, serials (including selected special issues and links to e-journals) and maps are included in the online Library Catalogue.  You can also browse map series holdings and sheet index data in the new Map Index GIS (Geographic Information System). 

The Library has compiled another list of duplicate books which are available to purchase. Requests from Fellows and Corporate Affiliates will take precedence over others!

For details see the lists on our Sale page. 

For our list of duplicate journals check the Surplus Journals page.

New books, maps and selected special issues of serials are listed in the Recent Additions lists below. We welcome suggestions for new acquisitions.  E-mail the Library with details of items you would like to recommend or need to consult.
