David, you wrote (in part): “I have a respectable speleo-library and even a rare book. But I do not have the time to read them, or reminisce thru them, etc. Most of them have been boxed up for 20 years.
I will need to will those books to a reliable caver someday, as I bet my offspring or relatives will throw them in the trash. David Locklear” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- David, you and other cavers have an excellent option to preserve your valuable speleo-archives. The Texas Speleological Survey has for many years been seeking, acquiring, cataloging, and storing all sorts of things having to do with caving. Our acquisitions are housed in secure, climate-controlled, facilities on the campus of the Pickle Research Center in Austin, Texas. Sample donation forms are attached to this mail. These archives are, for the most part, open to any interested researcher by making an appointment with the office manager or by appearing at the work sessions or special tutorial seminars that are held throughout the year and announced on TexasCavers well in advance. Any participation is welcome and, if all else fails, simply hand over your donations to any of the TSS Officers/Directors. A list of Officers/Directors and much other information about the Texas Speleological Survey had be found by visiting this web site: http://texasspeleologicalsurvey.org/ === Carl Kunath (TSS Archives Committee)
