The Mars Society has announced the creation of a library of Mars-related papers, primarily material from the annual conventions:

The Mars Society announces the creation of an on-line library of papers dealing with Mars and available to Mars Society members. Categories of Mars papers have been established ranging from analog research stations, technologies for robotic and human Mars exploration, utilization of Mars resources, the search for life, settlement, to related societal and philosophical implications that may be expressed in fiction or non-fiction.

The current Marspapers Library contains the text of all papers from the 1998 Founding Convention and the complete text and graphics of 57 previously unpublished Mars Society papers including 38 papers from the 2002 Mars Society Convention. While the public can view the abstracts of all papers, only Mars Society members can download the complete papers by logging into the members-only portion of the Mars Society web site.

This is a great idea, something I've been hoping they would do for some time now.
