October 16, 2005: ESIC is proud to announce the launch of two web sites celebrating the history of the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) and the scientists that make it great. For those interested in learning about the life of a geologist in the 19th century and some of the GSC's "rock stars", see the web site, Life of a Rock Star . If your interest is in reading historical GSC documents right from your desktop, see Written in Stone, where digitized versions of Sir William Logan's original journals and field notebooks, the early GSC annual reports and maps, and other important documents on Logan have been gathered into one virtual space. (Created in partnership with Library and Archives Canada and other institutions.)

ESIC is pleased to announce that the web site Life of a Rock Star in which ESIC collaborated, has won the first prize in the Educational category of the Museums and Web 2006.
