What do we have? Over 25,000 catalogued Hampshire rocks and
fossils, the majority of which were collected during the past 50
years; numerous rocks, minerals and fossils from elsewhere in
the British Isles, mostly collected more than 100 years ago; a
comprehensive library containing, books, publications, borehole
logs, maps, site plans and photographs. Why do we have them? We
have a strict Collecting Policy, which governs what we collect
and how we collect it. Items in the collections document
Hampshire's rich geological and palaeontological heritage. They
are used in displays, for teaching and by geologists for
reference and research. How do you get to see them? Anyone who
wishes to work on or consult the geological collections and
library please contact us.
