About the information system

IS logo

The Information System ‘History of Geology and Mining’ is a biobibliographic database created to support research in Earth sciences and the history of science. The system contains information about Russian and foreign geologists and mining engineers who made significant contributions to the development of science. It presents bibliographic lists of authors’ publications, as well as articles and obituaries about them. Reviews of publications and editorial work are shown. Places of work, additional documents, and photographs are linked to the scholars’ profiles.

The information is intended to support and systematize knowledge in the field of the history of geology and mining. The system’s core functionality is structuring and searching information. The information system makes it possible to continuously update information about geologists, making it as accessible and convenient as possible for search and research work.

The system is continuously updated and edited by the History of Geology Group at the Geological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (GIN RAS), where you can send additional bibliographies and documents on the history of geological and mining sciences.
