During the 15 years. The Society has collected a lot of new data concerning the lifetime of the oldest noble family Kontrim-Domeyko in the area of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The family is known from 1498 when it got the coat of arms “Danguel” after King Vladislaus The Second. A family tree shows their residence deep from 1725. Among the family circle are known land-lords, judges, custodians, nobleman marshals, but most illustrious was a widely known scientist, famous geologist Ignacy Domeyko (31.07.1802 Niedzwiadka – 23.01.1889 Santiago).

EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region and the Blue Growth concept explicitly focuses on maintenance of the good status of the marine environment of the European seas. Recently developed Lithuanian integrated maritime spatial plan aims to create the favourable conditions for sustainable development of marine economy, and particularly the offshore wind energy. Proposed and tested innovative solutions for selection of new disposal sites as well as handling the dredged soil in ports, contributes to more environmentally sound and economically feasible operations of the south-eastern Baltic Sea ports.

Most established is the Vilnius Cathedral Treasury which contains priceless masterpieces as reliquaries, chalices, bishop rings, monstrancies, candlesticks, ornaments decorated with hundreeds of precious stones, gems, and jewels. Handwritten descriptions are kept in the Archive of the Lithuanian Art Museum.

In the 1960s, when still a young Dr Sci., I was employed at the Research Institute of Geology and Geography, and the Director, Academician Kazys Bieliukas, put me in charge of compiling The Lithuanian Geological Awareness—a history project involving two hundred years of education, science, and activity of the geological survey. It was a great All-Soviet-Union project, led by Professor Vladimir Vladimirovich Tikhomirov, a Member of the Academy of Sciences in Moscow, and the promoter and first President of INHIGEO (1967–1976).
