The first Collector's Library listing of mineralogical literature (primarily textbooks and mineralogical manuals) appeared in the January-February 1978 issue of the Mineralogical Record.

The second listing was expanded to include all American localities of mineralogical interest and appeared in the January-February 1979 issue of Mineralogical Record. This second article was updated in the May-June 1987 issue of Mineralogical Record.

With the permission of the author, Art Smith, his lists have been updated and adapted to the Web.

United States

A particularly useful reference book that covers many localities throughout the United States is: Ore Deposits of the United States;1933-1967 (1968), John Ridge, Editor, 2 volumes, 1880 p.

The American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) publishes a series of regional geological highway maps that are somewhat generalized but useful for reference and preliminary research for known or potential mineral collecting sites. They may be ordered from the AAPG Bookstore, P.O. Box 979, Tulsa, OK 74101. http://www.aapg.org/pub_maps.html

F.C.Schrader, R.W.Stone & S.Sandorf: Useful minerals of the United States USGS Bull 624. 1917. 412 pp. (Separate chapters for each State, with an alph. list of minerals and rocks.)
