For those interested in the history of mineralogy / crystallography there is a new website entitled:

The Virtual Museum of the History of Mineralogy
http://www.mineralogy.be/

The Virtual Museum includes antiquarian books, goniometers, crystal models, antique labels, optical- and other instruments once used in mineralogy or crystallography. The objects we display are kept in different museums, institutes and private collections all over the world. The objective of the virtual museum may only be met with the help of many who are willing to share photographs and descriptions of their own treasures with others. If you are also willing to contribute, do not hesitate to contact us.

If you would like to be kept informed about the activities of the Virtual Museum, subscribe to our e-mail newsletter (will be issued maximum 4 times a year).

The Virtual Museum of the History of Mineralogy is a joint initiative of Paul Tambuyser and Claude Hootelé.

Kind regards,
Paul Tambuyser
