Speleology Servers on the Web

This is one of the places on the Net where you can find a lot of pointers to Caving servers. Many other such directories can be accessed through those pointers.

Mailing Lists: the Cavers Digest, and others...

International Journal of Speleology IJS is the official journal of the UIS (International Uion of Speleology) since 1964. and is published by the Speleological Society of Italy.

The Cavers' Digest began in 1988 as a mailing list and was converted in 1992 into a ever growing digest. There are currently near 1000 addresses in the list, only may be half of them in the USA (;-).

New Web site for the Cavers Digest at www.caversdigest.com
Administrative contact: caver@caversdigest.com

And there are a couple of sites that maintain a full index of the digest archive, e.g. at lmu, UK. The Speleology server at Yale had a retrieval facility through the digest archives (but it is currently broken).

The Cave surveying and SURVEX lists, for general discussions on surveying, mapping, positionning, etc., and for specific discussion on the Survex software. (subscriptions at http://www.survex.com/maillist.html
