Historical Note

 

The New Orleans Geological Society was founded in 1941 by a group of geologists who felt the need for a professional organization to represent the working geologist, and who foresaw the coming expansion of the petroleum industry in Louisiana.  The collection’s materials show not only the growth of the field of geology, but also its pivotal role in relation to the oil industry in New Orleans and the Gulf South region.  Once founded, the group expanded rapidly through the postwar years.  By 1954 the Society was publishing geological reference material, had formed a Ladies’ Auxiliary (for the wives of Society members) and hosted numerous social events.

 

By the early 1970s, the Society had begun to take a more active role in advocating a vigorous oil industry in Louisiana in the form of lobbying, public relations and letter writing through the Society’s Public Affairs and Environmental Committees.  The archives for those years contain correspondence with leaders (senators, congressmen, and Mayor Moon Landrieu), letters to the editor of the Times-Picayune and other publications, and various pamphlets and white papers produced by the Society and by companies such as Shell Oil.  Other areas on which the Society focused its efforts were federal and state attempts to regulate the field of geology (through requiring geologists to be registered or certified) and against television and newspaper coverage of the energy crisis of the early 1970s that was felt by the Society to be unfavorable to the energy industry.  The Geological Society also took a stand on government deregulation of the energy industry, and the issue of pollution in Lake Pontchartrain, encouraging the state and federal governments to open up the lake and other Louisiana coastal areas to further oil exploration.

 

The collection is arranged by year, with a typical year’s files containing minutes, a member directory, the monthly Society publication the N.O.G.S. Log, and correspondence and annual reports arranged by committee.  In later years the Directory was only published every few years, but there are generally annual lists of new members.  The Finding Aid lists folder numbers where information of particular categories is contained. In addition to these items, there are publications produced by the Society; an index of these is also provided.
