The Weston Observatory of Boston College is a non-profit research center, part of Boston College's Department of Geology and Geophysics, that is supported by research grants and private donations. The primary work of the Weston Observatory staff is to carry out research to study the earthquake activity and the geology of the northeastern U.S. and to educate the public about earthquakes and geology. Private financial support is essential for the Observatory to continue this work.

If you would like to support the Observatory, there is now only one way to donate: via U.S. mail. Checks can be made out to "Weston Observatory" and sent to:
