Publications

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, facsimiles 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 publication's 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.

Caving without tears 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.

ULSA's physical library contains books, journals and cave surveys collected over the last 50 years; this is an important collection of caving literature. The collection resides in the Edward Boyle Library on Level 8. Any club member can borrow books or journals from the library regardless of whether they’re a current University of Leeds student. Copies of many journals and surveys are available. Please contact us for more information.
