NYSAG Guidebook Archives

Published annually by the NYS Geological Association, the Field Trip Guidebooks are produced from annual meetings held at host institutions around New York State. The field trips highlight areas of geologic interest typically in the regions of the host institutions, as well as surrounding vicinities and adjacent states. The NYSAG makes the 1960-2012 guidebooks available for free from its website in PDF format. Access is organized by decade:

In addition, the guidebooks are available going back to 1956 in print in Lockwood Library Book Collection and can be checked out. They are shelved under the call number: QE145 .N56
