3) FREE TO A GOOD HOME: WASHINGTON EARTHQUAKE HISTORY
Are you doing a term paper/project/masters thesis/doctoral dissertation? On Pacific Northwest earthquake history, particularly Washington state geology, hazard studies, etc? How would you like a collection of papers and studies, including one on the geology and sociology of the 1872 Washington earthquake?
This material covers publications and papers from the late 19th century to middle-late 20th.
I have for you a great collection of quake stuff. For Free! Pay only the postage and take the lot. If you're under 30, you've probably never seen most of it.
Your AWG "Auntie" has retired from geohazard consulting and cleaning out the shelves.
