The Iron Gall Ink Website
More than a decade ago a group of primarily Dutch people took the initiative to build a website on iron gall ink and ink corrosion. The Iron Gall Ink Website was born. Iron gall ink is intriguing in many respects. It's traces are abundantly present within the collections of our worlds museums, libraries and archives. Like the appearance of historic documents gradually changes with time, ideas about iron gall ink and ink corrosion have developed as well. You will find traces of this recent history spread through this website. Besides early contributions dating back to the late nineties, new research results are included. In our opinion, these contributions together represent a valuable resource of knowledge.
