The ISC Electronic Archive of Printed Station and Network Bulletins

The International Seismological Centre (ISC, www.isc.ac.uk) has recently launched a new service, the ISC Electronic Archive of Printed and Network Bulletins (Di Giacomo et al., 2021), which is openly available on the ISC website. The archive allows users to look for scans of instrumental seismic bulletins containing parametric data of either a single station or a set of stations (network). The search for scans is based on the location of the town of an institution that produced a bulletin. As such, the electronic archive is easy to use and is likely to facilitate the work of a wide community interested in studying past earthquakes and involved in preservation and digitization of analogue recordings. We shall provide examples illustrating this service.

Although the ISC archive is likely to be the most comprehensive of its kind, we know that many more bulletins could be added and certain gaps in scans could be filled. Hence we invite contributions from archives around the world as well as from individual investigators that wish to preserve and allow use of printed bulletins to the geoscience community for years to come.
