The historical background of magnetic monopoles is briefly reviewed, taking into account a symmetrical set of Maxwell's equations considered by Heaviside (1893) and Dirac's suggestion (1931) regarding the possibility of a particle which would carry magnetic charge. The concept of Dirac's 'monopole' is discussed, giving attention to certain difficulties. Dirac introduced also the important idea that there is a definite relationship between electric and magnetic charges. In a discussion of further developments regarding the monopole concept, a suggestion by Saha (1936) is considered along with the vorton, aspects of topological charge, and the Grand Unified Monopole (GUM). A part of the present investigation is concerned with a number of new developments which began in 1981 in connection with studies conducted by Cabrera (1982), and a description is provided of various experiments designed to detect magnetic monopoles.
