New additions since January 2001 marked with [NEW]
The Geological Society
From the site: "We are the UK's national geological learned society and professional body for geoscientists. We have over 8000 members including 1600 Chartered Geologists. Our Burlington House apartments in London host scientific and professional meetings and house one of the largest geological library collections in the UK. We have a publishing house in Bath."

MinSoc Online
From the site: "The Mineralogical Society was instituted in 1876. The general object is to advance the knowledge not only of Mineralogy but also of Crystallography, Geochemistry and Petrology, together with kindred subjects. This is done principally by publishing scientific journals, books and monographs, and by arranging or supporting scientific meetings. The Society speaks for Mineralogy in Great Britain, linking with British science in general through the Royal Society and cooperating closely with the Geological Society. It maintains liaison with European mineralogists as a member society of the European Mineralogical Union, and it is the body which nominates British representatives to the International Mineralogical Association."

The Geochemical Society
From the site: "The Geochemical Society is a non-profit scientific society founded to encourage the application of chemistry to the solution of geological and cosmological problems. GS membership is international and diverse in background and encompasses such fields as organic geochemistry, high and low-temperature geochemistry, petrology, meteoritics, fluid-rock interaction, and isotope geochemistry."

British Geological Survey
From the site: "BGS, the national geological survey of the United Kingdom, was founded in 1835. Its primary functions are to maintain and revise geological information for the land and offshore areas of the United Kingdom and the nearby continental shelf. Its work relates directly to mineral, energy and groundwater resources, land use, geological hazards, and the protection of the environment."

Building Stone in Nova Scotia by G. B. Dickie [NEW]
From the site: "Nova Scotia stone has been used for the construction of buildings and monuments since the times of earliest European settlement. Over 250 quarries have been documented. Carboniferous age sandstones ..... account for much of the total building stone production..... Rocks of granitic composition have also been quarried in Nova Scotia..... Although some granite dimension stone was used in building construction, the majority of granite production was used in the monument and grave marker trade. Stone buildings require maintenance and, in some cases, complete restoration. Replacement stone matching the original is often required. This study has identified and inventoried 51 quarries and quarry prospects."
