Commission VIII: Chapters on activities.

Anyone can Google and find many interesting Peat-related websites and pieces of information. Commission VIII does not want to produce "more of the same". At the same time it also wants to point to sites and subjects that might be missed by the uninitiated. Accomplishing this depends on the input, among others of course, from you. Below a short-list that should be ever evolving.

First a list of museums. The current list needs information from a lot of countries in the world. If you want to add any information about museums, please contact us. At the moment we have a list consisting of museums in The Netherlands, Germany, Ireland, Finland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden. We have maps and links to the museums. Use the maps to plane a "Multiple-Peat-Museum Tour".

The Visual Art Chapter has a limitless potential, theoretically: paintings, art objects made from Peat, etc. etc. A future Chapter on the history of Peat & Man clearly overlaps with the Art Chapter. Old photographs, films and documentaries, achaeological findings, are be placed here, or the links towards them.

Another form of art that deserves its own Chapter is Books and Poetry. A beginning is being made with the book from 1658 from Martinus Schoock. He tells about the knowledge from the time on where peat originated and the ways is was being used. Surely there must be many more historically relevant books in for example the German, Polish or the Baltic languages that deserve to be made available to scientists and layman alike in other parts of the world.

We need ideas and information from you to make this website to a interesting forum for "peat knowledge".
