CBDG Geological Collections Subsystem

The Central Geological Database Geological Collections Subsystem contains data on the collections of the Geological Museum in Warsaw and regional branches of the PGI-NRI. In the Subsystem, these are data on palaeontological, palaeobotanic, mineralogical and petrographic collections collected in the form of specimens, polishes, thin plates and preparations. Data entry was initiated in 2003 by the Geological Museum in Warsaw, and in 2005 it was joined by the [Upper Silesian Branch of PGI-PIB](https://www.pgi .gov.pl/sosnowiec/oddzial-gornoslaski.html) in Sosnowiec, and in 2012 Lower Silesian Branch of PGI-PIB in Wrocław. Substantive supervision over their work is carried out by the Geological Museum of the PGI-NRI and responsible persons in the PGI-NRI branches. Geological Collections are linked to CBDG subsystems Boreholes and Archival Reports.
