About the PKN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The foundation (formerly Pijpelogische Kring Nederland) aims to promote knowledge about the history of the tobacco pipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1978 an initiative was started by (clay) pipe collectors and researches to establish a regular share of knowledge and findings through the publication of a quarterly magazine<\/a> Principally the magazine provides a platform for all members and other interested parties to publish their results of research, findings etc. This magazine has been steadily published since and still is a core activity of the Society. Since a decade or so, the Society also publishes once a year a larger, A4 size full colour publication. This yearbook generally contains more extended articles and research results. \n\nAs a regular member, you will automatically receive all publications in printed form (dutch language).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Society also strives, at a minimum once a year, to organise an in person event<\/a> where members and others who are interested can freely present their finds for analysis, and where collectors can trade, sell and buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, once a year the Society will hold it's yearly annual PKN Member day<\/a>where members can meet, presentations are shared, collectors can sell and trade and getting together are the central elements<\/p>\n\n\n\n
