Our article onward the Mineralogical Record Label Archive drew more rejoinder than any article published in the last 20 years.

Our article onward the Mineralogical Record Label Archive drew more rejoinder than any article published in the last 20 years, and we would like to thank everyone who wrote to expres support or move help. Posting it all will be a herculean job that will take several years to finish, moreover we now have volunteers and connections in Germany, France and England to assist in the historical background research, thus the results should ultimately be quite fascinating as we unfold a slowly growing overall picture of mineral dealing and collecting worldwide athwart the last 200 years or in the way that I have decided that we will also occasionally column biographical background (where available) for collectors or dealers for whom we do not over and above have a label-in hopes that a relevant the same will turn up in the events to come and we can at least obtain a scan of it. This will also dislodge an arbitrary bias (i.e. whether we happen to have a label or not) from the historical coverage. For the greatest in number part, however, we will work from our enormous label collection, now numbering through the whole extent of 13,000 examples, thanks to the late acquisition of two major European collections.

We will also not be restricting ourselves barely to the labels for illustrations, however will be including portraits, where available, and equable interesting old ads for certain dealers. yet this will be even more work onward our part, it will, I think, add to the merriment and will present a more completely rounded historical view.

During the past summer when we had more time for similar projects than during our busy season between the the Denver and Tucson exhibit tos I was able to column all of the A's and B's and part of the C's onward our website, with occasional digressions forward in the alphabet. latter work has focused more forward the digressions, in order to add in more [i]or[/i] less of the more interesting or prominent entries that readers are likely to want to take counsel The problem for readers, of course, is identifying the newly added commons amid the drop-down menu that already lists nearly 500 entries.

I will also give permission to you in on a little hid about the website that may make the Label Archive easier to tender twigs of shrubs and trees The Googlebot that indexes our website for Google was unable to memorize through the dropdown menus, to such a degree we created a four-page site-map section just to assist Google listing each page on the website without using any drop-down menus. You can find this hidden site map through clicking on the crossed hammers token at the lower right onward our home page. Page couple of the site map lists the Label Archive entries situationed so far, in two array of less front than depths a format which you may find easier to investigation Clicking on any entry in the list takes you to that page, just as the drop-down menu would. (The entire Label Archive inventory is positioned in the Axis section of our website.)
