TIMS Website

The International Molinological Society (TIMS) is active since 1965, and is
the only organization dedicated to mills at a worldwide scale.

The Mid-Term Excursion in 2013 will be to Greece.

It is planned to start in Athens. From there we will visit the water driven mechanisms museum at Dimitsana, including a walk in the nearby valley with the ruins of watermills and powder mills.

Then visits to the islands Andros, Kea and Mykonos with many wind- and watermills are scheduled.

The next TIMS Symposium in 2015 will be hosted by the Astra Museum in Sibiu, Romania.

As part of its brief “to promote encourage or undertake research and disseminate the useful results of such research” the Mills Archive is launching two research competitions with cash prizes and guarantees of publication. The research must be on a topic connected with traditional milling, by wind, water or muscle power. It must be original, previously unpublished and written in English.

Our Greece members  Katerina Toutouza and Olga Lekou have made a fantastic TIMS Calendar 2012.
They have used superb drawings of Johan De Punt, made at the mill visits during the TIMS Symposium in Denmark.

The calendar can be printed in high quality on A4 or even on A3 format paper.
