Welcome YSU Faculty!

Looking for geological specimens to supplement your teaching? Just follow the three steps below!

  1. Check if the museum has the mineral(s) you are interested in borrowing by searching the alphabetized mineral names.
  2. Click on the listed box number(s) to view photos and determine which box you are interested in borrowing. Please understand that the contents of each box might vary slightly from the photos below as we continue to update and improve the catalog of the collection.
  3. Contact the museum specialist to check if the box is still available and schedule a pick up time. 

Note: All borrowed boxes must be returned by the end of each semester. Thank you for your cooperation!
