AAPG Archives (Datapages)  Full Text Available Remote Access Available
Datapages endeavors to make geological publications accessible. The information contained in these publications can have a longer shelf life than the bound documents themselves. Over the years, books go out of print and become rare, or they suffer the ravages of moths and mildew. As a result, a great deal of valuable geological information is lost. To combat this loss, Datapages digitally captures geological publications and archives them to electronic media, thereby ensuring their future viability by making them indispensable to the geological professionals who need them most. By doing this, publications are easily accessible, searchable, and affordable. (AAPG)
