Overview and metadata sections

Smyth, Charles Henry, 1866-1937

Charles Henry Smyth was a professor of geology at Princeton University.

The collection consists of journals kept by Smyth, from 1905 until his retirement in 1934. Nine journals contain notes taken on geological field trips between 1892-1899 while Smyth lived in Clinton, New York, and one journal contains notes of the same kind for 1908 at Princeton, New Jersey. The journals are written in pencil and contain drawings of geological formations.

This collection was the gift of Peggy Gross in the Princeton University Geology Library in 1997 with an additional gift by Mrs. Emily Camp in 2009.

For preservation reasons, original analog and digital media may not be read or played back in the reading room. Users may visually inspect physical media but may not remove it from its enclosure. All analog audiovisual media must be digitized to preservation-quality standards prior to use. Audiovisual digitization requests are processed by an approved third-party vendor. Please note, the transfer time required can be as little as several weeks to as long as several months and there may be financial costs associated with the process. Requests should be directed through the Ask Us Form.
