Background

Scope and content:

Minutes and related attachments documenting the meetings, activities, discussions, policy decisions, and recommendations of the Virginia Board for Geology. Includes official board minutes, as well as draft minutes, committee meeting minutes, agendas and other meeting materials. May also include informal fact finding hearing minutes, correspondence, legislation, regulations and reports.

Electronic records often contain board meeting packets with various attachments and draft minutes, while paper records often include minutes only. There may be some duplication between paper and electronic records. For transfers prior to 2012, records of individual boards were accessioned separately. After this, transfers of records (records starting in 2008) included all boards, which were accessioned under one accession number. There is a separate finding aid for the later transfers (link to finding aid below).

Biographical / historical:

The Virginia Board for Geology was established in 1981 to implement a certification system for professional geologists for the preservation of the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Virginia. To provide the public a substantial basis for relying on the professional services of a geologist, the Board for Geology administers a certification system that includes qualifications of applicants for certification and regulations to prevent deceptive or misleading practices. The Dept. for Professional and Occupational Regulation is the umbrella agency for the board and provides administrative support. In 2012, the Board was merged with the Board for Professional Soil Scientists and Wetland Professionals to create the Board for Professional Soil Scientists, Wetland Professionals, and Geologists.
