The Comité français
d'Histoire de la Géologie (Cofrhigeo) was created
in 1976, on François Ellenberger's initiative. Its main purpose
is to contribute to the history of geological sciences, particularly (but
not only) in France and other French-speaking countries. Its second aim
is to promote a methodological reflection on the means and results of geological
research by analyzing the controversies of the past as well as the recent
conflicts. It is indeed quite as significant to understand the reasons
of the errors and blindness of our predecessors as to write the history
of progress and discoveries.
Cofrhigeo comprises approximately
130 members, of which a score are non-French members, and a few libraries
and research centres. The Cofrhigeo organizes 3 annual meetings, publishes
works and an annual journal, the "Travaux du Comité français
d'Histoire de la Geologie". Finally, it represents France in the "International
Commission on the History of Geological Sciences" (INHIGEO).
All those interested in history
of geological sciences are welcome as Cofrhigeo members. The annual contribution
fee of 200 FF (100 FF for students) allows participation in the activities
of the Cofrhigeo and receipt of the Travaux du Cofrhigeo. If you
want to become a member of the Cofrhigeo, please send an e-mail to the
webmaster. |
