This website is being organized to that end.Ken Bladh (Wittenberg University), one of the original authors of the Handbook, was appointed Editor of the Handbook of Mineralogy database by MSA Council action in June 2010, after Frank Dudas was unable to continue in that role. Professor Bladh’s initial goal is to bring the online Handbook up to date by adding pdf pages for all new minerals approved by the IMA after the publication of each original Handbook volume.  Revision of the Handbook to reflect all IMA approved changes in nomenclature and new mineral data will be undertaken after the new minerals project is completed.John W.
