The Scientific Instrument Society are the foremost body in the world
for the study of the history of instruments of all periods. They publish
an influential journal and hold meeting in Britain and abroad.
I have just curated, with Dr. Stephen Johnston, the Society’s 25th.
Anniversary Members’ Special Loan Exhibition at the Museum of
The History of Science, Oxford. Details of the exhibits can be seen
on their website at http://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/sis25/
The 46th. International Antique Scientific & Medical
Instrument Fair will be held on Sunday 26th. April 2009, from
10:00 to 15:00, at The Thistle Hotel, Marble Arch, London W1.
Web site last updated: 18 April 2009
For details of the world famous Portobello Road Antiques Market
see their website www.portobelloroad.co.uk
Contrary to what is claimed in the guide books, the market is only
open on Saturdays, and is at its best between 10 and 2.
My other site, which has absolutely nothing to do with scientific
instruments is www.peterdelehar.com
