A Range of Resources ...

Yale's collections of maps and field guides/guidebooks are large and diverse. This guide is for members of the Earth and Planetary Science department who are doing field work and who want a portal for discovering Yale's access to digital and print field guides/guidebooks, in addition to resources on digital and print geospatial data/maps for New England and other locations. There is also a tab about the geosciences and colonialism that features books and search tips to help you prepare to visit a place for research. It is useful for anyone engaging in fieldwork in geology, including mineralogy, sedimentology, stratigraphy, glaciology, geochronology, geomorphology, geophysics, and other subfields.
