About The Club -
Begun in 1959 by local shell enthusiasts, the Jacksonville Shell Club was organized and incorporated as a
non-profit educational organization five years later. Most of our
approximately 75 members live in and around Duval County, but the membership
includes those with similar interests throughout the country. Since
its founding, the club has sponsored
forty-three shell shows in Jacksonville and the surrounding area and has hosted
a national shell collectors convention in Ponte Vedra Beach.
Publications - Our bi-monthly
newsletter, the "Shell-O-Gram," published continuously since October
of 1960, is filled with interesting articles, news about members and shelling
activities in the local area and the state, and items from around the world of
interest to shell collecting enthusiasts. Read
