British Cave Research Association

BritishCaveResearchAssociation The British Cave Research Association (http://bcra.org.uk) is a UK registered charity, and a constituent body of the British Caving Association, undertaking charitable activities on behalf of BCA.

BCRA's object is to promote the study of caves and associated phenomena. It attains this object by supporting cave & karst research; by encouraging original exploration (both in the UK and on expeditions overseas); by collecting and publishing speleological information;
maintaining a library; and organising educational and scientific conferences and meetings.

BCRA organises an annual caving conference, known as Hidden Earth, (http://hidden-earth.org.uk) at which it runs its Photo Salon, Art Salon and Video Media Salon competitions, in addition to providing a programme of lectures on British caving, including expeditions, new discoveries, technical updates and audio-visual shows.
