The Electronic Archive of Printed Station/Network Bulletins at the ISC

Description: 

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., 2022). The archive allows users to obtain scans of instrumental seismic bulletins containing parametric data of either a single station or a 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.
