Dear Colleagues

 

The Historical Metallurgy Society and the Ironbridge Gorge Museums Trust are proud to announce the availability of an electronic catalogue of the National Slag Collection.

 

http://www.hist-met.org/nsc.html

 

This collection started as several different personal and lab collections (e.g. Reg Morton, Norman Mutton, Michael Davies-Shiel, etc) and parts of it have been donated and moved several times over the past few decades. The collection has recently been sorted, re-boxed and catalogued and the electronic catalogue formed.

 

The National Slag Collection contains almost exclusively material from England and this includes material ranging from prehistory to the 20th century. We hope that people will use the catalogue and will notify us of any corrections that need to be made (contact [log in to unmask]).

 

Thanks

 

David
