| Speleology BCRA's bulletin In January 2003, Speleology (ISSN 1478-999X) replaced Caves & Caving as the Bulletin of the BCRA. The magazine aims to cover 'popular science and technology' related to caving, as well as expedition reports, and the activities of BCRA's special interest groups. It appears three times a year. Speleology is now a member benefit of BCA, billed as the Bulletin of British Caving and is sent to all BCA 'direct individual members'. Order a free copy |

| Cave & Karst
Science BCRA's science journal (on paper) Cave and Karst Science (ISSN 1356-191X) is the Association's peer-reviewed science journal. It is published three times a year and is issued to BCRA members who have opted to receive it. From volume 34 (to be published in Spring 2008) the journal will contain full colour on some inside pages. |
||
| Cave & Karst
Science Online With volume 34 (to be published at the beginning of August 2008) we are planning to publish an online version simultaneously with the print edition. All BCRA members will have free access to C&KS Online. Members who do not wish to receive the print edition of C&KS can pay a lower membership fee. Online access will also be available on a subscription basis to non-members of the Association, with an annual and a monthly fee. Please note that we will continue to offer C&KS on paper for as long as it is economically possible to do so. |
||
| Online access will require a User-Id and Access Code. These access credentials will allow members/subscribers to download each individual article in Cave & Karst Science as a PDF. There will also be a single PDF of the entire journal. Although we are concentrating initially on new issues of C&KS, the access credentials will allow members/subscribers unlimited access to all of BCRA's online contact that we have managed to generate. | ||

| Cave
Studies Introductory Booklets The Cave Studies Series is a series of introductory booklets on a range of cave-related topics. The aim of the series is to provide an introductory text aimed at the sport caver who has become interested in some other aspect of speleology. The Series editor is always willing to consider possible new titles to add to the series, and to discuss details with potential authors. Currently available titles are |

| Speleological Abstracts Annual
Bibliography Speleological Abstracts / Bulletin Bibliographique Spéléologique (BBS) is a world-wide bibliography of caving publications, produced annually by the UIS (Union Internationale de Spéléologie). Its correspondents around the world collect caving articles and scientific papers which are catalogued into an A4 volume. BCRA co-ordinates the abstracting of many English language publications for incorporation into BBS/SA. From 1993 SA/BBS incorporated the earlier BCRA publication Current Titles in Speleology (CTS). Copies of Speleological Abstracts can be obtained from BCRA - please contact publication sales (see Contacting Us) for availability. |
||
| BCA Publications The British Caving Association produces a range of booklets and information about caving. For logistical reasons BCA and BCRA have separate sales offices. BCA publications were listed on p15 of BCA news #7. For contact information, see our contact page. |
||
| Other titles We have a number of other books in stock. Please contact us for an up-to-date list. You can also inspect a list of past BCRA titles, listed by ISBN / ISSN. Sometime in 2007, we hope to be able to include a list, on this web site, of the publications we currently have for sale. You can currently view the list as part of BCRA newsletter 7. |
