Abstract

History of chemistry is a large tent, including individuals trained in and professionally practicing the disciplines of history and of chemistry--and even philosophy and sociology as well. History of chemistry preserves the record of who have been chemists, what they did, when they did it, how they did it, where they did it, and why they did it. By shedding light on chemistry of the past, it can inform and even inspire chemistry in the present and future. This presentation will focus on programs, institutions, resources, and works on the heritage of chemistry geared toward chemists. It will not, however, ignore works of non-chemists, whose professional distance provides salutary perspective valuable to chemists' understanding of their past.
