The Club holds a large collection of geologicakl materials that have either been collected by members during field trips or donated to the Club by members and other geologists seeking a home for their specimens. The collection inc;udes:
several hundred minerals and rock samples from the local area, New Zealand and overseas
a small collection of fossils from New Zealand
books and maps on geology including geological memoirs and bulletins, classic texts and reference books
Club members have free access to these facilities. Non-members may request access by contacting the Secretary.
At this moment, the collection is undergoing a complete reanalysis, and a detailed database is being constructed of the materials that it includes. Until this is completed, access to the collection may be limited.
