Below is the blurb about the Association for Mexican Cave Studies that
I've sent to the NSS for this year's members manual. The AMCS is a
project of the NSS. -- Mixon
Association for Mexican Cave Studies
The AMCS has existed, mostly informally, since 1963, and is
dedicated to the exploration, study, and conservation of the caves
of Mexico, chiefly through a program of publications. There is no
formal membership list. Anyone who shares the goals of the AMCS and
pursues them with proper respect for the caves and people of Mexico
may consider himself or herself a member.
Since the year 2000, the AMCS has published 13 Activities
Newsletters totaling 1831 pages, 15 AMCS Bulletins, 2191 pages, and
11 AMCS reprints, 2254 pages. Many older publications have been
scanned to produce 3729 pages of PDF files for our web site. Catalog
and links are at amcs-pubs.org.
During 2013, the AMCS published Activities Newsletter 36 and
Bulletin 22, Sulfidic Karst Springs and Speleogenesis in the Sierra
de Chiapas.
Considerable recent effort has gone into putting over 3000 maps of
Mexican caves on its web site (amcs-pubs.org/maps/) and cataloging
its library and archives (amcs-pubs.org/library/), which contain 405
disks, about 160 books, 460 periodical titles, and over 5000 items
in the paper files.
