[Rockhounds] USGS Folios

[Alan Goldstein]

No general science museums around here. I can't use them at the Falls of the Ohio. The KY Science Center doesn't add to their collections. No local universities have a use / space for these. I don't think there are any rare book dealers here, either. If it had to do with horses or bourbon, it wouldn't be a problem!

You might check with the museums in your region. Many museums have extensive paper collections.

Many geology departments at colleges/universities have a map archive and might be interested.
