The classical work Atlas der Krystallformen by Victor Goldschmidt contains 23606 crystal drawings and a short description of each drawing. The work is regarded as a milestone within the classical crystallography. Still today this work is used as reference book and a source of crystal drawings.

The pages in Atlas der Krystallformen are scanned in 300 dpi PNG black and white format or 256 shades of grey when necessary to reproduce original drawings precisely.
The files are organised the same way as the chapters in the books. The headers on each page may be long. Each corresponding file name has been shortened in such a way that misunderstandings between the page headers and the corresponding file name are avoided, and at the same time as short as possible. Additions such as "1,2,..." and "a,b,c,.." have been done when necessary. The folder content includes two tables of contents, sorted alphabetically in german and english. The location of the drawings is given this way: 1,22 (band 1, tafel 22). The database file Goldschmidt.dbf contains the same information in Dbase3+ format. The folders text contains information about location and authors of the drawings in the corresponding folder Tafel.
All together the two cd's contains approx. 810 M of graphic files. Graphic shareware wievers are included.
Minimum system requirements: Windows 95 or NT 4.0 (service pack 2). 16 MB RAM. 24x Cd ROM.
