Anders Leth Damgaard



President of the Danish Amber Association





I have studied and collected amber with inclusions since December 2008. In my spare time I work on building an online full photographed image database of the collection of beetles, and in addition I work with the classification, registration, photography and condition assessment of the Danish national collection of amber (ZMUC). The focus is wide, but over a long period, the emphasis has been to study and collect Coleoptera and the dissemination of knowledge about amber.

More information can be read in this interview:

It is important that we go exploring, investigating, researching and gain a greater awareness of our amazing world. But it is just as important that we make the knowledge available to everyone - to disseminate and make it understandable. With this website, I want to take part in this process and build a large database of knowledge, images, text, movies and scientific articles about amber.

On the page you will find pictures, practical information, scientific articles, recipes for amber sweets and soaps, movies, recommendable books, huge databases, statistics and more. In short, this website shares everything that is important to know about amber, and is as often as possible being updated. If you have ideas for topics, please contact me here.

I sincerely hope that this page can help your quest for knowledge.
