Description:
The collection of the faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences includes around 200,000 geological items subdivided into dozens of separate collections. The oldest collections date from 1842 when the subjects of mineralogy, crystallography and geology were included in the study to become a mining engineer at the then Delft Academy (TU Delft).
