Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences

Each year, as part of the G590 course, Art of Geological Sciences we bring a group of students to visit the Lilly Library’s amazing collection of rare books from their history of science collection. This year on November 7, the library staff assembled a remarkable collection of maps, books, and gems from the collection for us to look at and discuss. This private tour was an extraordinary opportunity to see one of the world’s great collections of rare books.
