Subject: Copies of the Geologic Atlas of the United States available
Sender: christopher  winters <[log in to unmask]>


I'd be willing send three or four of our six (!) copies of
the _Geologic Atlas of the United States_ to academic libraries.
As I'm sure many of you know, the _Geologic Atlas of the United
States_ is a set of 200-odd folios published by USGS between 1894 and
1945. Most volumes include topos, geology maps, cross-sections,
photographs, and texts. The _Atlas_ is an important research tool for
historical research. Condition of our copies is only fair, but the
material is perfectly usable.

The reason for this giveaway is that the Map Collection here, after
28 years in the sub-basement, is scheduled to move to the 3rd floor
of Regenstein Library this summer. (The sub-basement is needed for compact
storage of books.) There doesn't seem much point in moving all
those duplicate copies.

Please do let me know your postal address if you're interested.
