About
This site has been created to share information on building the 50th anniversary history of the International Union of Geological Sciences. The Union was formed in 1961 and by 2011 hopes to have a special volume honouring the work done in its first 50 years. The history leading up to the formation is also being studied. Other history work I am involved in will be added from time to time. Currently I am working on a history of women in the petroleum industry and those who have worked with 'saurians' such as dinosaurs.
This is a great place to give more details about me, as the Webmaster. I could give personal information about my family, my job, my education, and my hobbies and interests. I could also include a list of any of my favorite things.
The History or Story Behind My Site
Depending on the topic of my site, I could include historical information about my subject. For example, if my site is about my business, I could discuss how my business got started. If my site is about a sports team, music group, movie star, or my family, I could chronologically list or summarize major events important to my topic.
Others
My About page is also a great place to give information about others involved with my site's topic, such as the leaders of my organization, club, or company; an ancestor; my family; and so forth.
