Orton Memorial Library of Geology

Orton Memorial Library of Geology was formally dedicated on October 16, 1920, in memory of Edward Francis Baxter Orton (1829-1899). The library houses titles relevant to various aspects of geology, geography, polar studies, and soils. The map collection includes topographic and geologic maps from the US and other areas of the world. The OSU Library System provides access to these materials plus a large number of electronic resources (i.e., journals, books, database searches). Orton Library also has public computers, a laser printer, photocopier/scanner, and VCR/DVD players available for patrons' use.
