Our magazine
Gloria Maris
As a member of the Royal Belgian Society for Conchology, you receive our magazine “Gloria Maris”. That is included in the membership fee.
Gloria Maris has a broad acceptance both nationally and internationally. It is swapped with, or sent to musea, scientific institutions, universities and societies all over the world.
Gloria Maris from 1961 to today
Eversince the constitution of the society in 1961, a magazine was published under the name. This magazine went through an evolution over time. Prior to 1986 it was no more than a stenciled bundle. These bundles contained – next to scientific articles – also general information on shells and families of shells, short messages, travel reports, … etc.
Since 1986, the 25th volume, the magazine is printed. Initially, every volume consisted of 6 issues with articles of high scientific value. Afterwards, this was changed to 4 issues per volume (year).
What can be found in it?
– revisions of shell families
– descriptions of new species
– inventories of the molluscan fauna of a specific area.
Articles are mostly written in English, yet other languages are accepted too – by preference with synopsys in English. The second part concerning life at the Society is mainly written in English.
