Statement of Purpose
Geological collections are extremely broad in scope and encompass paleontological, petrological, mineralogical and many other types of materials. These collections are the foundation of our understanding of billions of years of Earth and planetary processes including chemical, physical, and biological processes, and provide us a window into the future of our planet.
Proper curation and preservation of geological collections ensures the long term application of this unique and irreplaceable resource, and is as varied as the materials themselves. The purpose of this document is to aid in the compilation of existing resources and is a work in progress.
