*Seismograms of the 1906 Valparaiso (Chile) Earthquake: (Last updated: August 21, 2004)*

The following collection of seismograms was scanned at 300 dpi, 8-bit gray scale by
BMI Imaging Systems, Sunnyvale, CA, USA, in May-June of 2000,  from
"*Seismogramme des nordpazifischen und sunamerikanischen Erdbebens am 16. August 1906*",
by E. Rudolph and E. Tams, published by the International Association of Seismology, Strassburg, 1907.

Samples were scanned at 200 dpi and 400 dpi, 8-bit gray scale. Due to cost consideration,
the seismograms were finally scanned at 300 dpi, 8-bit gray scale in actual size. The collection
of seismograms contain 123 individual records and the scanned image files were "video edited"
by W. H. K. Lee using the PaperPort Deluxe9 software of Scansoft, Inc.

Since many original seismograms are 90 cm long, many records contain sections of the
original seismogram in order to fit into the published paper size (about 32 by 45 cm with
margins for annotation). Because some records contain seismograms from two or more
different stations they were separated into different image files, resulting in a total of 160 files.

For rapid viewing, the edited image files were saved in this Website at large "quality" reduction
in PDF format, but the original edited image files are archived at IRIS Data Center for download
at the scanned 300 dpi resolution.

Seismograms are organized by station as follows, with brief indication of the instrument and
component. Because the 1906 Aleutian Island (USA) earthquake (Mw=7.8) occurred about
30 minutes prior to the 1906 Valparaiso (Chile) earthquake (Mw=8.5), care must be exercised
in using the following seismograms as noted by Omori.
