The New Manual of Seismological Observatory Practice (NMSOP or "the Manual") is an initiative of the former Commission on Practice (CoP) of the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth Interior (IASPEI). At its meeting in conjunction with the IASPEI General Assembly in Wellington, New Zealand, January 1994, the CoP established a Working Group on the Manual of Seismological Observatory Practice. Peter Bormann agreed to chair the group. A first concept for the NMSOP was put forward at the General Assembly of IASPEI�s European Seismological Commission (ESC) in Athens, Greece, September 1994 (Bormann, 1994). At subsequent meetings and through correspondence, Working Group members were found, willing to contribute major chapters, topical sections or complementary annexes to the Manual. Over the course of time the original conception of the organization of the Manual evolved, in response to the material that authors actually provided. The authorship itself changed as well, as some people dropped out and replacements emerged. This has delayed the completion of the NMSOP. In support of the NMSOP the Manual Working Group organized six open workshop sessions in conjunction with IASPEI and ESC assemblies, with oral and poster presentations as well as Internet presentations of the Manual website under development. The history of the Manual and its forerunners, the activities of the Working Group, as well as the scope, philosophy and expected outreach of the NMSOP, are outlined in more detail in Chapter 1. In total, 40 authors and contributors from nine countries have collaborated in producing about 1250 pages of new drafts (see list of authors and contributors). These were reviewed extensively both within the Working Group and by 35 external reviewers from 10 countries. Thus we hope to have produced a Manual that will be considered useful not only for the daily work of personnel at seismological observatories and centers for data analysis, but which may also find interest in a broader context of education in Earth sciences and training at universities and secondary schools.
