Collection contains his research files, geological logs from sites in Wyoming, correspondence, photographs, scrapbooks, and articles regarding Love's work in Wyoming and personal life. Biography of J. D. (John David) Love

J. David Love was born in Riverton, Wyoming. He graduated from the University of Wyoming with a B.A. and an M.A. in geology. He earned a PhD. from Yale. While he was at the University of Wyoming he worked for the State Geological Survey under the direction of Sam Knight. He was a field geologist who did original work on the geology of Wyoming. He was the first to discover that Wyoming mountains belonged to the tertiary geologic period. In the early 1930s he discovered uranium in western Wyoming. He worked part time for both the U.S. Geological Survey and Shell Oil Company until 1940, when he worked for the U.S.G.S. full time. His work included searching for uranium and advising University of Wyoming geology students.

Collection contains geological logs from sites around Wyoming, research files with articles, photographs, and correspondence regarding geologic formations of Wyoming (1933-1966) and personal interests, county maps of Wyoming (1930s-1940s), six Richard Throssel glass plate negatives, personal and professional correspondence, Love Ranch records, photographs of work, family, friends and the ranch, newspaper clippings, scrapbooks, and awards and certificates.
