The [http://www.volcano.si.edu/reports_weekly.cfm Weekly Volcanic Activity Report] is a cooperative project between the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Program and the [[United States Geological Survey]]'s [[Volcano Hazards Program]]. Notices of volcanic activity posted on the Report website are preliminary and subject to change as events are studied in more detail. Detailed reports on various volcanoes are published monthly in the [http://www.volcano.si.edu/reports_bgvn.cfm?p=2 Bulletin of the Global Volcanism Network].<ref>{{cite web|title=Global Volcanism Program, National Museum of Natural History|url=http://www.volcano.si.edu/reports_weekly.cfm|accessdate=3 January 2014}}</ref>
 
Changes to the format of the Smithsonian volcano archives have severely hamstrung the website. http://www.volcano.si.edu/search_eruption_results.cfm# is difficult if not impossible to navigate using a Linux operating system. No satisfactory explanation for this decision has been offered to date, nor has any reassurance that the problem is being attended.
 
The GVP also documents the last 10,000 years of Earth's volcanism. The historic activity can guide perspectives on possible future events and on volcanoes showing activity. GVP's volcano and eruption databases constitute a foundation for all statistical statements concerning locations, frequencies, and magnitudes of Earth's volcanic eruptions during the last 10,000 years. Two editions of ''Volcanoes of the World'' (Simkin et al., 1981; and Simkin and Siebert, 1994) were published based on the GVP data and interpretations.<ref>''Volcanoes of the World'',(Simkin et al., 1981); (Simkin and Siebert, 1994); Global Volcanism Program.</ref>
