Overzicht van de jubilea en het eerbetoon aan leden van de Nederlandse Malacologische Vereniging tijdens haar 75-jarig bestaan (1934-2009)

In the first part of the article we present an overview of the jubilee activities of the Netherlands Malacological Society (NMV), organised since the founding in 1934. Jubilees were celebrated at 15, 25, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 75 years with festive meetings, special publications, expositions and an international symposium. The latter took place in 1959, during which the foundation of the Unitas Malacologica Europaea was initiated. The chairman’s chain of office, consisting of shells, was presented in 1949 at the 15 year jubilee. His hammer was handed over in 1984 during the festive meeting for the 50 year jubilee. This part ends with a detailed overview of all – 11 till now -jubilee publications. Members of the society were honoured mainly during jubilees.
