Papers

BC Geological Survey Papers

Toward the end of 1978, the Ministry of Energy and Mines started a series called Papers to help distinguish the increasing number of publications. This series, in the past, encompassed all ministerial publications that were not included in the Bulletin, GEM, (Geology, Exploration and Mining), or Annual Report series. Since 1987, it consists primarily of geological research reports representing the culmination of project activity or annual reviews of the BC Geological Survey as a whole.

 

Some earlier publications from the Regional Operations Health and Safety Branch (now called Mining Operations) have been allotted numbers and are listed below for completeness.

 

Papers are available digitally, free of charge, from this website. Some may also be viewed at various libraries, such as the James T. Fyles Library at 1810 Blanshard Street in Victoria, B.C. 
 

Note: The first publication each year in the Paper series is Geological Fieldwork and these are listed separately.
