Last updated on May 9, 2024

The British Columbia Geological Survey is custodian of all public provincial geoscience data. Reports and maps produced since 1895 can be searched for, and downloaded from, our publication catalogue.

Current Series

The Survey currently publishes geological Papers, Open Files, GeoFiles, Geoscience Maps, and Information Circulars.

Historical Series

The names of our publications have changed through the years. Although recast in different formats, the substance of earlier generations of publications has remained.

Historical Annual Reports

Annual reporting has been restructured many times since 1874. Currently, Geological Fieldwork, the Provincial Overview of Mining and Exploration, Exploration and Mining in British Columbia, and the Coal Industry Overview serve the same function as the following discontinued series.
