Department of Geology and Geography, Harvard University
1890 - 1961
The Department of Geology was in existence at Harvard by 1890. At some time it became the Department of Geology and Geography. In 1958, its name returned to Geology alone.
Until 1961, this department and the Department of Mineralogy and Petrography (established 1894) were part of the Division of Geological Sciences. Beginning in 1961, a unified Department of Geological Sciences was established.
