A variety of topical and named archival collections are contained within the History of Science Collections. This includes legacy materials in meteorology and physics, as well as materials in our new collecting initatives in the History of Geology and History of Meteorology.
The History of Geology Archival Collections consist of papers and correspondence of historians of geology, and other geology materials. Initial collections are now in processing, as follows: Martin J. S. Rudwick (intellectual history of geohistory, Georges Cuvier, and Charles Lyell); Hugh S. Torrens (Mary Anning, William Smith, mineral surveyors, geology and the British Industrial Revolution); Kenneth L. Taylor (geology in the Enlightenment, French geology, and Nicolas Desmarest); Léo Laporte (George Gaylord Simpson and paleontology, Charles Darwin); Alexander Ospovat (A. G. Werner and geology in 18th-century Germany); David B. Kitts (history of paleontology, philosophy of the historical sciences, and Charles Darwin).
