*** ATTENTION ***

There have been a lot of 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!

You can log into the Robert F. Walters Digital Geological Library by using "guest" as a username and "guest" as a password. This will allow you to see the digital and paper database of the Kansas Geological Society. If you want to order from us, just give us a call at 316-265-8676.

LAS Files Now Available on Walters Digital Library. Over 14,000 LAS files have been added to the database.

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 Range

Scanning 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.
