< p > This part of the Expedition Handbook is about documentation - recording what
the expedition found for posterity and so future expeditions have something to
build upon. Mostly this means producing a good < b > survey< / b > of each cave, but
it also includes writing < b > passage descriptions< / b > and taking
< b > photographs< / b > . Documenting old caves which are refound, and short new

< p > Since 1998, this screed has been split up into digestible chunks. We hope you will
2004-04-22 21:43:17 +01:00
read all of it, but those who have been surveying before may want to skip the
introductory material, whilst others may not need to read all of the more
detailed topics.< / p >
