Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries

The Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) is the agency of the government of the U.S. state of Oregon responsible for collecting, maintaining and disseminating geologic information, and regulation of industries which exploit the state's geological resources, including gas, oil, and other mineral exploration and mining. [1]

DOGAMI was established in 1937 by the Oregon Legislative Assembly and placed under the direction of the State Geologist, an office established in 1872 and first held by pioneer Congregational missionary and fossil expert Thomas Condon. [2]
