Description
Digitized seismograms and event catalogues from a small observatory that recorded 9 thousand earthquakes, most of them too faint to feel.
Provenance
Deposited by Hazeldale University Library, from its own collections. The tape had stretched near its start; the first blocks were repaired by hand from the sampled signal. Most of the work survives, but some files are lost. The damage map lists them.
