Update on the AIP website: the "links" page has been replaced by the "resources" page. This new page features links to pages with valuable resources on pipes such as pipe databases and pipe catalogs. Naturally, this page is not complete so if you have any suggestions for additions please don't hesitate to share!

In our ongoing effort to improve the AIP website we have now added a search bar. As the site will fill with with information about conferences, featured pipes and more, this search bar allows easy access to all the site content.

This is the wonderful website of Arthur van Esveld, a dutch collector of Gambier clay pipes. His collection is probably the largest of this kind in the world. Arthur has made his full collection digitally available through his website. For each pipe he gives the various publication dates, dimensions, description and a brief history of the topic depicted on each pipe. His website is a great resource for other collectors, and genuinely fun to browse through.
