Natural Resources
Over 150 linear feet of material
The development, allocation, and use of California’s natural resources are the focus of collections in this category. Materials regarding land formations, water pathways, and climate range from the scientific to the lyrical, the pragmatic to the ideal, and the environmental awareness expressed in each of the collections is of particular interest.
Materials are primarily in English. Although there are no geographical limits, most materials focus on California’s natural resources. Related materials may be found under the headings of Agriculture, California History, and Plant Science.
