This report describes a programme to retrieve and properly archive
uncatalogued Research Vessel (RV) data held at CEFAS Lowestoft, formerly the
Directorate of Fisheries Research. The earliest records discovered date back
to surveys undertaken in 1904. For the period up to 1970, when reliable
computer databases began, records of 2,367 surveys by 12 sea-going research
vessels and eight estaurine/inshore vessels were located. A description of the
type of data that were held in each of the 2,475 scientists Log Books from
these surveys is included in a fully searchable Catalogue. A continuous record
of research vessel activity is available, except for the periods during World
Wars I and II. All data are now catalogued and stored in secure modern
archiving facilities, and the CEFAS Library is the custodian of this data.

This Technical Report describes the information that is now available in the
RV data archive at our Lowestoft laboratory. It contains:
- The type of information that was discovered
- The methods that were used to summarise the data from the archive
- A brief description of the Excel "Historic RV database" that was created
from this archive. The database is a catalogue of information held in the
archive and does not contain raw data collected during any of the surveys.
- How the database can be used to retrieve specific datasets. The report
provides examples of potentially valuable time-series data that are
available for further analysis.
