This study was made possible only through the committed and often unglamorous work of the Staff members who organized and maintain to this day the archived collections at seismological observatories worldwide. We deeply thank them, and especially our colleagues at Caltech and Uppsala for access to their facilities. James Taggart helped organize many trips to the Denver USGS archives. We are grateful to Hiroo Kanamori and Inés Cifuentes for discussions on instrument responses, to Robin Adams for a customized relocation effort, and to Robert Engdahl for access to his relocated hypocenter file in advance of publication. Cliff Frohlich carefully reviewed the paper. This research was supported by the National Science Foundation, under grants EAR-93-16396 (Northwestern) and EAR-92-19361 (Harvard).

N2 - We present a catalogue of 35 centroid moment tensor solutions for deep earthquakes (h ≥300 km), covering the years 1907-1961, and obtained by applying the inversion algorithm routinely used in the Harvard CMT project to analog records obtained from archived collections of historical seismograms. While the catalogue does not achieve completeness, it provides new insight into as many significant historical events as could be obtained given the available data.
