The Decade of North American Geology Project was established by the Geological Society of America to celebrate its 1988 Centennial year. The series is intended to provide a massive, systematic synthesis of geological knowledge of North America which will serve as a benchmark of research up through the 1980's. A few of the projected 71 volumes have been cancelled (see note at end). The Walter Geology Library has acquired 2 complete sets of the D-NAG series, and they can be found as follows:
