Indexes and Searches


Descent is indexed in fine detail from issue (1) to (133) as part of an ongoing project. These PRINTED INDEXES are invaluable in tracking down even obscure references and are available for BINDING with your copies of the magazine.

An online AUTHOR INDEX (covering major authors only) and SURVEY INDEX (covering all surveys and area maps published in Descent) are now available. These are based on the published indexes but have been extended to cover all issues to current.

To search the complete website (including the major author index, the survey index and the contents lists that appear in each issue), use the SEARCH facility.

This is also an appropriate place to mention referencing Descent, which is always done with issue number – for example, Descent (215), Aug 2010 – and never with a volume number. More information appears here.
