Cerussite - Australian Museum, Sydney, NSW

At the 2009 Joint Seminar in Brisbane, a motion was passed by the attending society delegates and society newsletter editors to allow their respective newsletters to be made available on-line to all. The only provisos were that relevant authors be fully acknowledged, and that newsletters would not be available until two months after their initial publication/circulation. This was to give exclusive "first" access to the relevant societies to the benefit of their own members.

If you read something of interest why not contact the society near you and join up? They have a wealth of knowledge and friendly members!

Also, from time to time, items of interest on the Australian Mineral collecting scene will be placed here.

NOTE: Newsletter editors, feel free to reproduce any items that you see here, but please acknowledge full details of authorship. If in doubt, please contact the relevant editor/author.

SUBMISSIONS: If you wish to submit your newsletter for archiving, it must be in Adobe pdf format and try and keep the file size less than 1MB.
