The Trust
Bergey's Manual Trust was established in 1936 to sustain the publication of Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology and supplementary reference works. The Trust also recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to bacterial taxonomy by presentation of the Bergey Award and Bergey Medal, jointly supported by funds from the Trust and from Springer, the publishers of the Manual.
The Trust's newsletter, The Microbial Taxonomist, is available here.
Trust survey
A survey on the possible formation of an international society for microbial taxonomy can be found here - we would appreciate your feedback.
