ESIC History The Earth Sciences Information Centre (ESIC) is not only Canada’s premier
earth sciences library, but also the oldest scientific library in Canada, having
begun in 1854 as the Geological Survey of Canada Library.
In 2004, ESIC marked its 150th anniversary, giving us the opportunity to celebrate
our accomplishments, reflect on our history (brief,
full, historical photographs),
and participate in the creation of two innovative web sites exploring the history
and archival documents of the Geological Survey of Canada (Life
of a Rock Star, Written
in Stone).
