Seismological Investigation, Reports of the Committee

The British Association for the Advancement of Science was founded in 1831. The Committee on Seismological Investigation began publishing reports in 1896 under the leadership of John Milne. These reports continued until 1954 with a total of 59 numbered reports.  However, some reports appear not to have been published, and report size became much shorter after Milne’s death in 1913. Therefore, we post only the first 25 BAAS reports (1896-1920). The reports are reproduced here as scans in Adobe Acrobat with thumbnails, bookmarks, and a navigation page. [Note: Report "Twenty-third" should be "Twenty-fourth" in 1919.]

The published paper reports were gathered by Willie Lee who created this project. The hundreds of pages of the Reports were scanned by Shirley L. Lee, the resulting 60 or so multi-page TIF files were converted to Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) files, hyperlinks were added, and this html front-end was created by Michael Diggles.
