We have a new product that we’re testing.

It is something called a Membership.  The working title is “Archive Access” Membership.

It will be available as a yearly, and perhaps also a quarterly subscription.  The price is yet to be determined.

It will be available sometime at the end of 2026 or the beginning of 2027.

General Description:

Your membership subscription will allow you to read back issues of the Mineralogical Record just like you would the paper magazine, except that it will be on your desktop, laptop, or mobile device.  The versions of these issues will only be available as on-line (you must be logged into your account to read them), READ-ONLY (meaning they cannot be saved, printed or downloaded), PDF Flip-book documents.  There will be a “search for” feature and each individual document will also be searchable.

Once you purchase your Membership subscription, your back issue Flip-books will be immediately available to you through the website.  You will have to log into your website account to be able to see these issues.  They will not be publicly available anywhere else on the website, so you will have to purchase and be actively paying for an Archive Access Membership Subscription to be able to read them.

ALL BACK ISSUES AND SUPPLEMENTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR VIEW.  Every time there is a new issue/supplement, it/they will be added.

This Membership is being designed for the avid Mineralogical Record reader, mineral collector, mineral educator, mineral dealer and mineral researcher in mind.

You will be able to search for topics, articles, and issues, similar to our current “SEARCH THIS SITE” feature.  Each individual Flip-book will also be searchable.  To view Flip-book samples, see our “Magazine Issues Sample” page.  (Column with drop-downs on left)

You will be able to enlarge both photos and font for better viewing.  There will also be video links on some of the photos.

There will also be other features not yet listed here.

These on-line, Flip-book magazines cannot be “owned”.  They cannot be downloaded into a computer.  If you want to download digitized PDFs you either need to purchase them HERE, or get a Digital Subscription HERE.  Or click on one of the links below for more options.
