The background of the project to update the Manual of Seismological Observatory Practice and publish it on the World Wide Web is discussed here . Some confusion has occurred around the naming of the present document, which currently exists only as a set of web pages. The New Manual is a collaborative exercise which closely matches the intent of the people who originally designed the World Wide Web. Therefore it is a dynamic document which is constantly evolving to meet the needs and interest of the people who actually contribute to it.
New submissions are always welcome .
Contact information for submitting material may be found here . Contributions can also take the form of a link to another web site which maintains data or information relevant to the Manual. In this case the Manual will evolve into a distributed document. Much of the material in the 1979 Edition of the Manual is still accurate and relevant to seismologists today and for the forseeable future. The New Manual therefore incorporates links to the 1979 Edition where appropriate.
