Hocken Library Collections Display

Geology for the University, City and Region – a limited-time Hocken Collections foyer display – showcases scholarship undertaken by geologists in the Otago region, illustrating how these achievements shaped the development of the discipline in Aotearoa. 

Hand-coloured geological cross-sections bearing James Hector’s signature, nineteenth-century student notebooks, historical departmental photographs and original Otago School of Mines architectural drawings represent a small assortment of items on display.
