The INTERNET Database of Periodic Tables
There are thousands of periodic tables in web space, but this is the only comprehensive database of periodic tables & periodic system formulations. If you know of an interesting periodic table that is missing, please contact the database curator: Mark R. Leach Ph.D. The database holds information on periodic tables, the discovery of the elements, the elucidation of atomic weights and the discovery of atomic structure (and much, much more).
Periodic Tables from the year 1961 :
| 1961 | Gamow's Wound Ribbon Periodic Table |
| 1961 | Chaverri's Tabla Periodica de Los Elementos |
| 1961 | Lawrencium, Discovery of |
| 1961 | Circular Periodic Chart of The Elements |
| Year: 1961 | PT id = 508, Type = formulation 3D |
Gamow's Wound Ribbon Periodic Table
From George Gamow's 1961 book, The Atom and Its Nucleus. There is an earlier 1948 version.

Thanks to Roy Alexander for the tip!
| Year: 1961 | PT id = 569, Type = formulation |
Chaverri's Tabla Periodica de Los Elementos

Thanks to Eric Scerri for the tip!

| Year: 1961 | PT id = 883, Type = element |
Discovery of Lawrencium
Lr ![]()
Lawrencium, atomic number 103, has a mass of 262 au.
Synthetic radioactive element.
Lawrencium was first observed in 1961 by A. Ghiorso, T. Sikkeland, E. Larsh and M. Latimer.
| Year: 1961 | PT id = 1251, Type = formulation spiral |
Circular Periodic Chart of The Elements
Chris R. Hagness writes:
"I own a wall chart that doesn't seem to be in your database of periodic tables. It's a circular 'periodic chart of the elements' published by Dickinson Brothers, Inc. in USA, distributed by American Seating, copyrighted 1961 by H. Edmund Matthews, Jr.
"I have never been able to find any information on this on the internet. Not on Edmund Matthews, no old catalogs from American Seating, no reference to this particular circular periodic table. I've never seen another of these anywhere, and I've been looking on and off for 10 years. I can't imagine this would have been a popular selling item. If you have any info, that would be appreciated!"
