This index is a list of specimens and slides taken from the John Smith Collection and placed in the Type and Stratigraphical (T&S) Collection of Scotland and Northern England. To some extent it is the digital equivalent to part of the T&S analogue card index which is held in BGS Edinburgh. The data, however, appears to have been derived from the 5 leather bound volumes of the T&S register. The latter are held in BGS Keyworth, but equivalent information (microfilm and paper records) is held in BGS Edinburgh. The MS Access database (BGS_SMITH_GSE) contains 1123 records, it links the T&S register with that of the John Smith Collection (8 bound volumes held at BGS Edinburgh) and provides limited information on taxonomy, nomenclatural status and chronostratigraphy. It also has provision for stating where the specimen is housed. The repository of BGS John Smith specimens is the Edinburgh office.

Database of inorganic water quality analyses from research projects both in the UK and overseas.

Information from the Scottish quarries database has now been incorporated into the BritPits (British Pits) database Contains the site and rock type information of working and disused hard rock quarries in Scotland, covering all mainland Scotland and major Scottish islands. Database was initiated in the spring of 1997. Various stages of completeness in the dataset according to information received, quarries not documented will not be recorded. Quarry site data is given as point data (centre 2D XY data), at the point there is a quarry, areal extent is not recorded.
