The Technical Data Unit in Anchorage, Alaska, holds maps, field notes, and other records of the USGS work in Alaska. The USGS Field Office in Spokane, Washington, houses the more than 5,000 files from Federal government exploration programs that contracted to fund exploration for some commodities from 1950 until 1974. The Latin American Archive in Tucson, Arizona, holds material on Latin American &lt;span class="searchword"&gt;mineral&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="searchword"&gt;resources&lt;/span&gt; collected by the Center for Inter-American &lt;span class="searchword"&gt;Mineral&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="searchword"&gt;Resources&lt;/span&gt; Investigations.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
