<h3>Introduction</h3>

|
|
|
<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
|
|
|
|
|
caves is covered by the <a href="../look4.htm">Prospecting Guide</a>. Taking
|
|
|
|
|
photographs may one day be covered by a better expedition <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="../photo.htm">Photography Guide</a> than the current effort. <b>This</b>
|
|
|
|
|
guide covers essentially everything that goes in the <b>Survey Book</b> on each
|
|
|
|
|
expedition.</p>

|
<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>
