The Bureau of Economic Geology (BEG) is the Texas state geological survey. This guide is designed to help you locate Bureau of Economic Geology publications in the Walter Geology Library Stacks, Reference section, and Tobin Map Collection. The library holds many, but not all, BEG publications in print. To purchase Bureau of Economic Geology (BEG) Publications, go to Bureau Publications Sales.
The following table of BEG Series lists the Geology Library call numbers for most of the publications. Some series are too numerous to list all of the call numbers. For more information, please consult the library catalog or the brief series explanations given below the table.

Numbering varies. The earliest of the UT Bulletin series were numbered consecutively, but in 1917 the numbering was changed to signify the year and bulletin number.
The Bureau of Economic Geology Bulletins and Publications series began in 1915 as part of the Bulletin of the University of Texas (also known as University of Texas Bulletin) series. The University of Texas Bulletin was succeeded by University of Texas Publication in 1938 and continued until 1968, when University of Texas Publications ceased. UT Publication 6711 was the last of this series.
