The Karst Research Group at University of South Florida (USF) will be hosting Alexander Klimchouk from the Ukraine in the spring of 2007. Dr. Klimchouk and the University of Ukraine recently lost their entire 10,000 volume collection of cave and karst literature to a fire. This was the largest speleological collection in Eastern Europe, and the base of what was to be the Ukrainian Institute of Karstology and Speleology Library. The Karst Research Group, along with NCKRI, is trying to help them rebuild a collection of speleological publications and literature. Any donations of cave and karst books or papers people may be willing to part with would be welcome. Donations can be sent to: Karst Research Group, c/o Beth Fratesi University of South Florida SCA 528 4202 E. Fowler Ave. Tampa, FL 33620 The Karst Research Group is working on setting up a page about the donation project on their website, which is www.karst.usf.eduIt will have a list of books they have already received and books they are still looking for.
