>> Abstract
>>
>> State geological surveys are home to legacy geological data that holds
>> value in the present. Early legislation of geological surveys often
>> included requirements that state surveys have a museum or cabinet to house
>> their physical collections. These collections currently include data such
>> as cores, cuttings, thin sections and fossils. State geological surveys
>> maintain these collections to support scientific research that has value to
>> those in government, industry, academia and the public. Survey collections
>> and other similar science data collections, are in danger of being lost due
>> to various risks such as poor curation, few access points, lack of funding,
>> and space considerations. Efforts to preserve these collections have
>> increased, beginning with a National Research Council report in 2002
>> highlighting this plight, and the founding of the National Geological and
>> Geophysical Data Preservation Program by the United States Geological
>> Survey (USGS) in 2005. Currently, programs like EarthCube address this
>> problem by focusing on cyberinfrastructure needs that will ease discovery
>> and access to specimen datasets. Even with these efforts, there is still
>> much work to be done.
>>
>>
>>
>> Increasing preservation and ease of access requires training in data
>> curation and preservation as well as a better understanding of the users of
>> geological data. This paper will introduce geological collections, provide
>> examples of preservation challenges surrounding these types of collections,
>> and suggest future research directions. This includes collaborations with
>> library and information scientists, archivists, museums curators, as well
>> as cross training of domain scientists. Future management systems for these
>> collections should provide increased discovery and access to geological
>> data.
