Supplemental Information

Data capture 1989-1997. The collection of data is complete as far as possible. Some data on obscure media or unknown formats may be obtained from their original format some later stage. The digital data from most of geophysical logs and surveys carried out by Nirex are held by the BGS. A few tapes, in unknown formats or are un-readable, have been retained. The remainder have deen copied onto DLT tapes for long term storage.

Distribution format

• DLT CARTRIDGES - With the overall aim of delivering an efficient and effective archive service, the data have been consolidated onto DLT cartridges. ()

• VIDEO TAPE ()

• DIGITAL - The BGS maintains a full catalogue of the data, as an Access database. ()

• PHOTOGRAPHS ()

• OTHER, UNKNOWN OR OBSCURE - Some related data, which were either analogue, on, obscure media or in unknown formats have been retained in their original form. ()
