This listing covers the titles of
articles (9800+) for the "small format" volumes (448 issues) from 1926 to
1977. For
information on articles since 1978 (large format) there is an excellent bibliographic computer program
(MINDEX) from Mineral News that covers all minerals
and localities listed in the articles in Rocks & Minerals (from 1969 to date) as well as the complete runs of
Mineralogical Record, Mineral News, World of Stone
(Russia), and Matrix. Also
included on this page is a categorized listing of articles in the in-print issues of Rocks & Minerals
(see their website for the most up to date information).
These pages are not intended to be a comprehensive index to the small format
issues, but is an attempt to make finding articles in these issues of Rocks
& Minerals possible. You
can search for words in the titles to the articles, authors, localities
and minerals (if the mineral is in the title or if the article is about one mineral
i.e. if you search for quartz, there are many more mentions of quartz in the
articles than will show up on the search). Even
though many times the state (or country) names were abbreviated in the titles
(and not consistently) or
left entirely out of the titles, this information has been added to the database
so that a search for the full
state name will find these articles. A large number of the
entries are for the various columns that were written for each issue. Much locality information can also be found in
the
"World Occurrences" columns
and the columns on micromounting (this degree of detail is beyond the scope of
this database). The simple search mode will find single words (or states such as
New York (search for york) - capitalization is ignored). You can also search for
partial words - conn or nect will find all the Connecticut listings. For more complicated
searches (two word (and/or) and "not" searches) please use the
Advanced search page. If you don't find information on a locality by
doing a search on the specific locality name, do a search on the state (it may be found
there as a generalized area).
