FY2019 GSA ANNUAL REPORT

Publications

GSA and its publications go way back—nearly as far back as the formation of GSA in 1888. The first article in the first
issue of the Bulletin of the Geological Society of America in 1890 contained the proceedings from the 1889 meeting
where GSA organized as a Society.
