The chemhistory-chicago.org web site is a road map to
the history of the Chicago Metropolitan area's academic and industrial
chemical community from the mid-Nineteenth Century through the 1960's
Timeline. We seek to identify and help to
preserve archival materials relating to chemistry and the chemical industry
in the region Resources ; enhance access
to information on individuals, institutions, and organizations in the
area and their interactions Community; and
make these resources available both to historical researchers and to
the general public. There are inter-linked, interactive directories
and bibliographies to archival and printed source material, and to local
and regional repositories. The project will serve as a foundation for
an expansion to broader coverage of the history of science and technology
in Chicago.
