DO NOT STOP BY THE LIBRARY IF YOU ARE SICK - COVID, FLU, BAD COLD...IT DOESN'T MATTER. PLEASE RESPECT THE HEALTH OF OTHERS.
WE'VE MOVED
The Library - now at 1704 S Baehr - is open for limited business (some reproduction supplies need to be replenished, and not everything has been unboxed), so stop by and see our warehouse of data!
UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, DO NOT PURCHASE LAS FILES FROM WDL
There is an issue with the file extension which renders the file unopenable.
Robert F. Walters Digital Geological Library
The Walters Digital Library is now being housed on a new server. This has caused some issues with accessing WDL with Internet Explorer, which we are aware of and are working on. For the time being, please use Firefox, Chrome, Safari (on Mac) or Microsoft Edge as your web browser when using WDL. As soon as the issues with Internet Explorer are addressed, we will let you know. Thank you for your patience, and thank you for being members of the Digital Library.
*** ATTENTION ***
There have been inquiries about information that has been released by the KCC that is not available on WDL. Please understand that we do not receive the files directly from the KCC; rather, they are processed by the Survey first to put them in a format that our database can display. Those files are then placed in a "pool" of logs for us to link to their appropriate APIs. We cannot upload what we haven't received, but as soon as we do receive them they are linked and made available to you.
We are constantly endeavoring to expedite and streamline this process, but know that as soon as we get the data, you get the data. Thank you for your patience.
Please be our guest!

12/03/2018: Large-format Printing
The Library has regained large-format printing capabilities with the acquisition of a Canon PRO-4000S plotter. So if you have a map or cross section that needs reproducing, stop on by!
08/16/2018: Strip logs
The Clark Roach donation of strip logs is now in the files at the library thanks to the hard work & donated time of Larry Friend. We have tons of good information only available here in the library. Maybe that piece of your puzzle is here.
06/01/2018: East RangeScanning of Plotted Geologist Reports & Electric Logs is finished! It has been a long process, but we are finished thanks to all the hard work of Angela, Helen, Dottie (previously) and others. We still have many other east items not scanned that can be viewed in the library. Intergration of East donated items both digitally and in the paper library will continue.
