Society Journals and Publications Held by the ASF.

The Australian Speleological Federation Inc. produces a variety of publications both for internal use by members and for a wider audience, including researchers and historians.

The ASF holds a large collection of journals and publications, a large number of which are published by organisations affiliated with the ASF, from clubs and societies located all over Australia. The ASF also has an exchange agreement with a number of caving organisations and research organisations both in Australia and overseas. As these are catalogued we will link them below.
