Subterranea Britannica: underground explorers

 Graphics Vent

I was Googling to see how people used the word "subterranea" and I stumbled across the fantasitc Subterranea Britannica, the Web site for a 35-year-old society "devoted to the study and investigation of man-made and man-used underground places." Here are some of the categories of underground sites that interest them: Adits, Air Raid Shelters, Cave Dwellings, Chalk Wells, Control Cenres, Earth Houses, Fougous, Funicular Railway Tunnels, Mines, Mushroom growing, Priest Holes, Sallyports, Secret Hiding Places, Show Caves, Souterrains, Subways, Underground Railways, Wells. And that ain't the half of it. These folks dig deep into, er, underground culture. Their site is filled with site records, photos, and maps. The England-based society also has a zine, Subterranea, and hosts conferences and field trips in the UK and Europe. Subterranea Britannica
