The Margaretologist

The Margaretologist is the voice of the Center for Bead Research. It is the journal of record for the world of bead research. Each issue is full of the latest news in this exciting field. We are a bi-media publication with the color plates here on The Bead Site. Bead Fake Alerts, New Beadmakers and Sources are regular departments.

In an effort to preserve the legacy of Peter's work, TheBeadSite.com is now a
Read Only Reference Site, administered by The Bead Museum www.beadmuseumAZ.org,
and is no longer processing subscriptions, taking memberships or issuing newsletters, but will remain on the Internet for research purposes.
