Description
Legacy seismograms contain unique data about past events, nuclear explosions among them, crucial to study and analyze past and present monitorization efforts. Unfortunately, many collections of these original data and their related accessory documentation are still in risk because of inadequate storage conditions and lack of proper recognition. At many institutions personnel and resources available are scarce and it’s extremely difficult to devote part of them to improve the present situation. It is common that scientific responsibles (curators) for the collections have no direct access to basic ideas for the preservation of documents (mainly because of lack of instruction). At the CTBTO2024 workshop, we presented a beta version of the Seismic Patrimony Preservation Tutorial, devoted to ease the management of the seismic patrimony and to face some minor actions improving its preservation and use. Now that a final free pdf version has been issued, we present the scope and limitations of this first version and open the debate to pursue: a) dissemination strategies to reach as many collection curators as possible, and b) decide the next areas and topics to expand with new chapters and/or efforts.
