Hi,

I'm not sure this is new, but I haven't seen it before. The Belgian archaeological collections, including Antarctic and non-Antarctic meteorites are now available on line. The Antarctic collection is, at the moment, better documented than the non-Antarctic collection.

The digitization of the "archaeological" collections is essential, because of their unique and irreplaceable character. Likewise, the creation of coherent virtual sets is the only realistic means to regroup collections which are scattered, allowing thus a better patrimonial and scientific management
