Physical Library
ULSA has a physical collection at the University of Leeds Edward Boyle Library Level 8 under the Caving section. This library contains books, journals and cave surveys collected over the last 50 years; it is an important collection of caving literature. Any club member can borrow books or journals from the library regardless of whether they’re a current University of Leeds student. There are three different sections of caving literature so if you don't find what you are looking for, make sure you have checked everywhere before giving up hope! To this end, the collection is searchable on the University of Leeds library website. Please contact the committee if you have any queries.
Virtual Library
The ULSA Virtual Library consists of various documents by ULSA. Included in this selection are a range of archive documents published by LUUSS/LUUCaS and ULSA since 1957 which are out-of-print or free-of-charge. These documents contained within the Virtual Library are, as closely as possible, facsimilies of the originals. Nonetheless, modifications are inevitable as publications dating from decades ago are published electronically. It is difficult to represent the same kind of typographical nuances in a web-page that result from the publications original format: either on a typewriter or in pen. As a result there are minor, unavoidable changes in layout. No attempt has been made to correct spelling and typos from the original publications.
It is hoped that in re-publishing in this new format these documents have retained much of their original atmosphere and character. As with any document of this genre it is important to read the texts in their appropriate historical context.
Copies of many journals and surveys are also available elsewhere. Please contact us for more information.
