Hollis Dow Hedberg Papers, 1970-1984  
Physical Description: 4mss  
Description: The collection consists of the papers of geologist Hollis Dow  
Hedberg and includes JOIDES correspondence, meetings and committees dated  
1970-1984.  
Excerpted from Institute for the Study of Earth and Man website: Hedberg’s  
“...professional activities spanned both industry and academia, in both pure and  
applied research. He made substantive contributions to such areas of geology as  
paleontology, stratigraphy, sedimentology, stratal compaction, geophysics, the  
geology of source rocks, hydrocarbon exploration, and the history of geology. Dr.  
Hedberg was also active in the geological exploration of the ocean floors. This, in  
turn, led to extensive contributions to the Law of the Sea. Perhaps his greatest  
contribution, however, was in the leadership he provided in formulating and  
establishing the International Code of Stratigraphic Nomenclature....”
