IAPSO Publications

Initially, the first monthly and annual mean sea level data sets were distributed via the series "Publication Scientifique" published by the associations that developed into the present-day International Association for the Physical Sciences of the Oceans (IAPSO). Scans of these reports are listed below. Reading through the first few pages of the reports gives a nice history of the early compilations of sea level data.
