Historical metrology is the science and study of the different units of measurement and measurement systems (including monetary units) which have been used by various countries and places throughout history.
For some countries, principal divisions of executive governments have published reports that compile formerly used weights and measures.
For example, this has been done for Bolivia, Great Britain, Costa Rica, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, Tanzania and the United States.
[2] In 2018, the first of three volumes of the book "Encyclopaedia of Historical Metrology, Weights, and Measures" was published.
