The Collection includes works from many related disciplines including: geology, geography, meteorology, geophysics, forestry, paleontology, archaeology, and oceanography.

Washburn, Professor Emeritus and first Director of the QRC, and the late Richard Foster Flint, a prominent Yale University Professor of Geology as well as the reprint collection of Troy Péwé.
