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.

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

As well as those of the Belgian Speleology Club

The Liège Speleology Club makes its important published documents available

Other organizations have already made their publications available, including the GSBM, which made all its publications available under a CC-BY license.

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.

If you are responsible for a structure that wishes to archive its documents, if you are the author of documents that you wish to make accessible to all, you can contact the team that runs the UIS Bibliography Commission, which is now chaired by Jean-Marc Mattlet
