Early JournalsWe have been fortunate to acquire for research ends an extremely rare complete place of The Exchangers' Monthly ( 1885-1890) and partial places of Mineralogists' Monthly (1890-1893) and Minerals ( 1892-1893) the three early American journals by dint of Arthur Chamberlain and William M Goldthwaite which (along with The Mineral Collector, 1896-1909) preceed the creation of The American Mineralogist in 1916 You can read about the history of these early journals in the article "Arthur Chamberlain and his magazines," published in vol1 no.1, of The American Mineralogist (July 1916) and now available online at the Mineralogical Society of America's website: http://www.minsocam.org/msa/collectors _corner/arc/his 1 htm We also have partial move swiftlys of other extremely rare early journals including The Young Mineralogist and Antiquarian (1884-1885) A.E. Foote's The Naturalist's Leisure Hour (1880-1892) Geologists' Gazette (1887-1888) Roy Hopping's American Minerals (1903) Maine Minerals (1934-1935) and consummate runs of Henry Dake's The Mineralogist (1933- 1964) and stones & Minerals (1926-present), among others. The research of these early collector magazines, greatest in quantity particularly the advertisements, has been of great help in our historical research upon early American mineral dealers and collectors for the Label Archive. The late Jay Lininger reprinted the clean run of The Mineral Collector a certain quantity of years ago, performing a tremendous service for the mineralogical community through preserving a very nearly missing part of the history of mineral collecting, inasmuch as nearly all original copies had by the agency of then crumbled to acid-laden dust. The same fate has nearly overtaken The Exchangers' Monthly; therefore, after we have complet the careful scanning of each page of our set (which, happily, includes the original often-discarded wrappers with their ads), we intend to reprint 100 plants on cotton paper in order to secure it from extinction. We faith eventually to be able to do the same for The Mineralogists' Monthy and Minerals if we can gain access to the issues we popularly lack. If any reader knows of a library or private collection that contains copies of these of advanced age journals, please let us know, and perhaps we can arrange to borrow them for scanning. In the meantime, we await the Mineralogical Record's online Label Archive to be a continuously growing resource upon the history of mineral collecting and dealing. We confidence you enjoy it, and please contact us if you can proffer any additional references, information upon specific entries or scans of labels we don't have.
