Metallurgy Factories Mines and mining Mineralogy Scientific communities; interprofessional relations 18th century Russia Lomonosov, Mikhail Vasilevich

This article examines Lomonosov's contacts with Russian mines and metallurgical factories and their role in his planned treatise on Russian mineralogy. Using documents from the Berg-Collegium, the author tries to determine the number of metallurgical factories active at the time, which factories responded to Lomonosov's request for ore and mineral samples, and the fate of those samples after the scientist's death. The essay also hypothesizes about a possible connection between Lomonosov's project and the subsequent creation of the ore cabinet at the Berg-Collegium in 1771. It describes the influence of these collections on the Mineralogical Cabinet at the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the significance for Lomonosov himself of the opportunity to collaborate with the Berg-Collegium and the factories. The appendix provides a list of factories with the names of their owners. The factory owners were the target readership for Lomonosov's "Announcement of the Project on Russian Mineralogy."
