Guidebooks

Guidebooks form the New England Intercollegiate Geological Conference NEIGC conference publications are and will continue to be the best resource for New England geology. In general, guidebooks (if still available) should be obtained directly from the organizer of each year’s conference (see the list of Previous Meetings of the NEIGC). Thanks to the efforts of UNH librarian Thelma Thompson, digital copies of earlier guidebook (before 1990’s) are available from the University of New Hampshire Digital Collection. See also Previous Meetings (this site).
