THE WWSSN MICROFILM COLLECTION

The NSA holds a set of around 3 million microfilmed WWSSN analogue seismograms from January 1966 to September 1990. The WWSSN data accumulated are an extremely useful resource, recorded globally to a documented standard. Additionally, original seismograms are held for the Eskdalemuir (ESK) WWSSN station. The report WL/99/18 provides a guide, not only to the NSA holdings on a station by station basis, but also to the use of the records and how the original records compare with the microfilm records.
