The du Pont collection, which was gifted to the University in 1964, is the foundation of the Mineralogical Museum.
The research of Fitzgerald, museum curator, was recently published as a supplement to the Mineralogical Record and has greatly enhanced knowledge about the collection’s specimens and their provenance.
