There are now slightly over two thousand maps of Mexican caves on the
Association for Mexican Cave Studies web site. See amcs-pubs.org/maps .
The catalogs of the paper and disk archives of the AMCS have now been
added to amcs-pubs.org/library . There are 365 disks and over 4400
items in the paper archives catalog.
The paper archives are sorted only by file location, so at this point
you're at the mercy of your browser's "find" command to track anything
down. Someone hastily wrote a JavaScript program to extract from the
catalog file only the items meeting a flexible string search, but the
script has bugs and the author has disappeared on an extended vacation
to darkest Southeast Asia. If someone out there is a JavaScript expert
and could clean it up, many people would be helped immensely. Contact a...@amcs-pubs.org
.
The AMCS library, in addition to the archives, contains about two
hundred books and one hundred periodical titles. Catalogs of these
library contents continue to be at amcs-pubs.org/library .
All of these are works in progress. There are no doubt several hundred
more maps lurking in the library and archives, and both the library
and the archives will continue to grow as various private holding
migrate to them. Additions are of course sought and welcome; contact a...@amcs-pubs.org
.
The map collection was created and the library and archives cataloged
by Bill Mixon, who obviously has too much time on his hands.
