Access and Subscription Prices
The Lyell Collection is not an open-access collection, but the Geological Society has tried to make key elements as accessible as possible. Key online functionality, including article browsing, quick and advanced searching, eToc and research alerts, and GoogleScholar links are all available for free. In addition, all abstracts and chapter extracts, as well as the introductory article of each Special Publication are freely available to the public, as is the first chapter in key book titles.
The full text of all articles cited in subscribed-to content, and articles which are hosted by HighWire Press (including GeoScienceWorld), are also available free to subscribers.
Finally, all articles authored by Charles Lyell, after whom the Collection is named, are available on a fully open-access basis.

Content which is not subscribed to can be accessed on a pay-per-view basis.
