An extensive archive containing more than 10,000 historical (1918–2020) geophysical logs collected in conjunction with studies done by various entities and more than 2,000 additional donated well and geophysical logs are stored in hard-copy at the Central Texas Branch of the Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center (OTWSC) in Austin, Texas. This dataset addresses the need to preserve these records electronically by providing a scanned and indexed collection of 11,171 of these records. Data are provided as a comma-separated value (CSV) text file and a Microsoft Access database in ACCDB format containing detailed well header information for each record. Also included are zipped files containing the geophysical log scans in Portable Document Format (PDF).The original dataset was published in January 2024, and revised in September 2024. This revision incorporates 5,113 additional log scans and header information into the original dataset containing 6,058 logs scans and header information. The original logs scans and header information were not changed except for minor edits as a result of additional quality assurance reviews .
