Geoscience library reopens in Mornington

The Geoscience library recently moved to Mornington and is now co-located with the core library. Mineral Resources Tasmania has an extensive collection of publications issued by MRT and the former Department of Mines, as well as a large collection of books, journals, theses and Australian and international Geological Survey publications. The collection is also a repository for reports by mining and exploration companies relating to their mineral activities in Tasmania. The reports issued by Mineral Resources Tasmania and its predecessors, and the company exploration reports, form an invaluable archive of geological information dating back to 1860.

Members of the public are welcome to visit the collection by appointment, 9.00am-5.00pm Monday-Thursday. Please contact the Geoscience Library Manager in Mornington if you have a reference question, or would like to book a visit.
