Primary date June 2010 The ResearchLibraries Group RLG was a United States U.S. based library consortium which developed the Eureka OPAC Eureka interlibrary search engine, the RedLightGreen database of bibliography bibliographic descriptions and ArchiveGrid , a database containing descriptions of archive archival collections. RLG was founded by a group of major research library researchlibraries in 1974, two years after OCLC , another library consortium, was founded.

primarysources date December 2010 The British Cave ResearchAssociation BCRA is a speleology speleological organisation in the United Kingdom . Its object is to promote the study of caves and associated phenomena, and it attains this by supporting cave & karst research, encouraging original exploration both in the UK and on expeditions overseas , collecting and publishing speleological information, maintaining a library and organising educational and scientific conferences and meetings. BCRA is a registered charity in the UK, and a constituent body of the British Caving Association BCA , undertaking charitable activities on behalf of BCA. History The BCRA arose from a merger in 1973 of the British Speleological Association BSA and the Cave Research Group of Great Britain CRG . When, later, the National Caving Association NCA was formed, BCRA became one of its constituent bodies. Although NCA was recognised as the governing body for UK caving by the Sports Council it did not allow individual membership and so BCRA was seen by many as de facto the national body. This situation was resolved in 2005 when NCA was dissolved and a new body, the British Caving Association took over NCA s function as the governing body for UK caving as recognised by the Sports Council . BCA consolidated various of the national body services formerly provided by NCA and BCRA. At the start of 2006, a new membership structure limited BCRA membership to BCA members, who now pay a supplement to join BCRA. BCRA ...
