The first major publication series of the Survey was titled “Volume”. Between 1873 and 1904 nine numbers and an atlas of maps were produced. Each Volume consists of several in-depth technical reports on the geology of Michigan. The Volume series was bound in green cloth or leather with gold lettering. Paperbound separates of most of the reports were also available. Volumes were numbered with Roman numerals.
