According to the United States Geological Survey1, the largest earthquake was in Chile on May 22, 1960 and registered 9.5 on the Richter scale. This earthquake bibliography is the second in a series of information bibliographies presenting material held in the NOAA Libraries on natural disasters. Here you will find scientific studies and recounting of earthquake events from the earliest times to the present. If you would like more information on scientific studies of earthquakes the library staff at the NOAA Miami Regional Library would be pleased to provide a citation and abstract listing for you.
