Materials arrive from across the country to be accessioned and processed at the Denver Library, Field Records Collection. Geologic Discipline scientists are encouraged to deposit their project materials and with the Field Records Collection. Materials in the collection are managed as Federal records to ensure ongoing access in perpetuity for future researchers.

The Field Records Collection in Denver houses materials generated from nearly 130 years of scientific investigations by more than 1200 scientists.

Organization and inventorying of the collection is an ongoing project. The Denver Library is converting card catalog records and inventory documents into a web accessible database in which inventories may be searched by keyword or browsed by scientist. The new website went live for USGS and public use in March of 2009.
