The Map Room

The Geological Society has been collecting geological maps since 1808.  It has one of the most comprehensive collections of geological mapping in the world, with over 40,000 maps covering the whole of the Earth, from the beginnings of geology to modern mapping.

Maps are available to be used and borrowed by Fellows, Student Members and employees of our Company Patrons.
 
Non-members can also visit the Library to consult the maps we hold in the collection.
 
Even if we do not hold a map covering your area of interest, we can frequently advise on what maps might be available and where they can be found.

For more information about both the Map Room and the services we offer, please contact the Library.
