TIMS Website

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

Paul Bauters, TIMS member and dear mill friend has passed away on 13 May. In Flanders many mills have been put in the mourning position to remember Paul as the one who taught us our love for the mills, and who gave back to the mills their place in history and in the landscape.

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 It must be original, previously unpublished and written in English.
