This institution dates back to 1922, when a geological office was established at the Ministry of Agriculture and World Affairs under the direction of head geologist Dr. Ernest Nowack. After seven years of activity, the office was no longer documented in official records. Its activities resumed in 1952 when the Albanian Geological Survey was formed.
