A century of scholarship archived in the Verhandlungen, Mitteilungen, and Inland Waters: publications of the International Society of Limnology

Over the past century, the International Society of Limnology (SIL) has supported 3 noteworthy publications that document the discoveries of our predecessors and contemporaries. There are 30 volumes of the Verhandlungen (Proceedings, 1922-2010), which archive findings presented at SIL Congresses. The 25 volumes of the Mitteilungen (Communications, 1953-1996) include focal papers and collections on specific topics. Inland Waters (2011 and ongoing) is the peer-reviewed, scholarly outlet for original papers within the framework of SIL. We commemorate our 100-year history with an abridged content review of SIL publications and republish 15 articles (spanning 1953-2022) to illustrate the scope of past contributions and current directions of the Society.
