World Digital Library

By
We have undertaken to build a global digital library dedicated to the underground environment. As part of this project, we have just set up two servers that allow libraries to easily retrieve everything contained in the Grottocenter BBS. https://wiki.grottocenter.org/wiki/GrottoCenter:En/OAI_and_Z39.50_servers Among the initial partners in this project is the Belgian Speleology Federation. During her internship at the Maison de la Speleologie, Camille worked with Nathalie and Loran to contact all the clubs to obtain authorization to archive their publications. Nathalie is currently digitizing the documents that have not yet been digitized. The first results, which everyone can benefit from, are as follows:
The publications of the Charleroi Speleology Club are available https://grottocenter.org/ui/documents/208875 As well as those of the Belgian Speleology Club https://grottocenter.org/ui/documents/21672 https://grottocenter.org/ui/documents/230092 The Liège Speleology Club makes its important published documents available https://grottocenter.org/ui/documents/230259 The Speleology Club of the Catholic University of Louvain gives us access to its publications https://grottocenter.org/ui/documents/21624 Biospeleologists will be able to discover the Echo des Rhinos https://grottocenter.org/ui/documents/229694 And finally, the inommable, a journal of Astragalus https://grottocenter.org/ui/documents/230115 Other organizations have already made their publications available, including the GSBM, which made all its publications available under a CC-BY license. https://grottocenter.org/ui/documents/133511 Jean-Loup Guyot is currently carrying out considerable work. Not only is he updating the archived documents, but he is also managing the documents published by the club in other journals and describing all the articles that make up these documents. Thank you very much for this remarkable work.

Caving expedition in Kyrgyzstan !

By
The Fund for the   Preservation and Exploration of Caves (FPEC) offer   cavers the opportunity to take part   project on caving research in almost   non-explored caves in Kyrgyzstan. In Kyrgyzstan   , the caving potential is huge. Almost all prospective regions are poorly explored or unexplored at all. Cave systems which were discovered previously require further exploration. In connection with this we think that the co-operation with colleagues from other countries with the aim to make joint researches in Kyrgyzstan may bring good results.   This year we are planning researches in the perspective regions of the Turkestan Range located in the south-west of Kyrgyzstan and associated with the Pamir-Alai Mountain system.             For the time being those regions are insufficiently explored and that provides good opportunity for the wide search of caves.    Besides, there i...
