Abstract: Have you wished you could look at an ISSW Proceedings volume you missed? Is there an ISSW Proceedings article you wish you could look at or a particular subject for which you would like to see all the ISSW papers? There is now an online archive of all ISSW Proceedings built by the Montana State University Library Digital Collections and the ISSW Steering Committee. The digital archive, on a Montana State University server, is accessed through the ISSW Steering Committee site at www.issw.net or at http://arc.lib.montana.edu/snow-science. The Proceedings are searchable by keyword, author, or title. The archive contains abstracts and papers from 1976-2010. The idea for the digital archive was first presented to the ISSW Steering Committee in 2002. A permanent ISSW website was launched on the avalanche.org server in 2006 and digital versions of the 2002, 2004, and 2006 Proceedings and historical summaries were made available online. The name “International Snow Science Workshop†was Servicemarked in 2008. Work continued in 2008 and 2009 to find an organization to help transfer the Proceedings to digital format and create a database. Discussions between the Earth Sciences Department and the Montana State University Library regarding digital conversion and a physical location for the archive culminated in an agreement with ISSW in 2010. Donated time from numerous volunteers and funds from the American Avalanche Association, the Canadian Avalanche Association and the ISSW Steering Committee led to a completed archive in 2011 as well as commitments for online access to future Proceedings.
