Several hundred unique users visit the DAHLI web site each month, roughly half of the users are from North America, the rest are scattered throughout the rest of the world. We have also begun to receive requests for materials that are not publicly posted due to copyright restrictions, as well as requests to post materials that are not yet on our list. Several of the documents that are available are quite popular receiving more than 100 requests each since the beginning of the year. These include:

United States Program for International Geophysical Cooperation – 1959. IGY General Report Series, no.6. Compiled and edited by Stanley Ruttenberg.

Recent glacier variations in southern South America. American Geographical Society southern Chile expedition, 1959, Technical Report. Donald B. Lawrence and Elizabeth G. Lawrence.
