About:

The collections of the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences fall into several categories: records relating to museum administration, specimen collections, and projects (major exhibitions and gallery displays). These include catalogues, correspondence, photographs and reports. There are also personal and professional papers of geologists, mineralogists and petrologists, including the field notebooks of Adam Sedgwick. The records of 'The Sedgwick Club' are also part of the collections.
