Additional contributions to the fund are needed, however, and can be made to the AAPG Foundation.

Marta S. Weeks has done it again.
Weeks, who already provided funding for four AAPG Digital Products University Subscriptions, has now provided funding to endow a fifth school – this time for Columbia University in New York City, in memory of L. Austin Weeks.
Currently 31 universities are AAPG Foundation recipients of digital products subscriptions, which provide students and faculty at each university access to the entire AAPG digital collection.
That includes over 600,000 pages of maps and geological information from AAPG’s digital library.
Two new members of the AAPG Foundation Trustee Associates have been announced. They are:
- Peter Dea, independent, Golden, Colo.
- Jeff Rayner, independent,
Carpenteria, Calif.
Their joining brings the Trustee Associates number to 263
