The Ganoksin Project is a free educational site for the world’s jewelers.Begun by Dr. Hanuman Aspler in 1996 and built collaboratively with Charles Lewton-Brain, it now has the largest jewelry/metals oriented content on the Web, with up to 2,000,000 hits a month, and visitors staying for an average 20 pages. Lewton-Brain has about 600 pages of his writing there. Karen Christians of Metalwerx has been involved with the project since 2001. Click here for a Ganoksin Project history. The site's Orchid mailing list, a discussion group for professional and technical issues for jewelers, has over 5,200 professional members worldwide. The Orchid list emails are archived and searchable on the site, providing an incredible source of information for jewelers. Various authors have book extracts there besides Lewton-Brain: Alan Revere, Tim McCreight, Erhard Brepohl, Leon Hornstein, Richard Huge, Sandra Smith, Brad Simon and others. Thousands of aspiring and professional goldsmiths have benefited from the information at the Ganoksin Project. Its goals include increasing information exchange, challenging traditional secrecy in the field and helping jewelers and goldsmiths globally. The running costs however are very high and paid for primarily by Dr. Aspler himself. As well, he donates the considerable time he puts in to editing the mailing list and building the site.
