Antarctican Society Forums
The survey of the membership that was used to design this website clearly indicated that communication among members was one of the most desired functions. The result is this set of forums. Members can address any subject they please, ask for answers to questions, start an ongoing discussion, or just say "hello" to other members. Members may also send private messages to other members and chat in real time with members in the chat room. Non-members may view the forums and all posts but cannot post messages.
A user manual for the Forums is available here.
Members List
Only Member names are shown. A future enhancement to this page will be the ability for Members to access their personal information and change it as needed, for example when your address changes or your email changes. Members will also be able to indicate how much personal information they wish to reveal to other Members.
Newsletters
This page contains the current Newsletter as well as the complete archive of The Antarctican Society Newsletters and other documents dating to 1959. The archive is over 1,800 pages chocked full of historical features, news, personal stories and more. All documents are in PDF format. Members may save or print out any or all of the newsletters.
Reviews of Books, Films and Music
Over the past fifty years, many media products have focused on Antarctica and many of them have been reviewed in the Antarctican Society Newsletter. Now you can pick and choose whatever interests you, perhaps as guidance for the next book or movie to to investigate, or as the next item to put on your personal Antarctic "wish list." There will be an ample selection to choose from!
Biographical Sketches
Some of the most significant Antarcticans in the relatively young human history of The Seventh Continent have been the subject of biographical sketches in our Newsletter. Many have been members of the Society, including Larry Gould, Norman Vaughn, Paul Siple, and a number of others. This page will be populated in the near future.
Obituaries
Antarcticans of note have rated obituaries in the Antarctican Society newsletter over the years. You can read any or all of these here. Now you can share in these accounts of lives that are significant in the human history of Antarctica.
