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.

Folder inventory added by Nicholas Williams '2015 in 2012.
