The United States Congress authorized a Library for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 1879. The library was formally established in 1882, with the naming of the first librarian, and began with a staff of 3 and a collection of 1,400 books. Since no specific classification scheme existed for such a specialized library, one was developed in 1904 for use in an Earth science library.
