Chemical Heritage Foundation gives the following descriptive information:

We work to build, preserve, and interpret the history of chemistry and technology, engaging scientists, engineers, and laypersons alike in understanding science’s effect on our world. Our goal is to advance the understanding of the roles science and technology play in shaping society so that the history of the field will be as commonplace as histories of nations and empires, literature, and art, and scientific discoveries will be recognized as crucial driving forces in modern society.



CHF’s four programmatic areas address specific parts of our overall mission:

  • The Donald F. and Mildred Topp Othmer Library of Chemical History.

The Othmer Library houses our major collections of rare and modern books, papers of prominent scientists and organizations, and historical photographs. Together with our museum’s collections of artifacts, scientific instruments, and art, they form a valuable resource for studies in the history of science and technology. Staffed by a dedicated team of librarians and archivists, our library allows researchers to explore primary sources from the 15th through the 21st century.

  • The Roy Eddleman Institute for Interpretation and Education. The outreach arm of CHF, the Eddleman Institute is the operational home of the Museum at CHF and our magazine and podcast, Distillations. Museum and communications staff members work with their colleagues across the foundation to create exhibitions, public programs, and other materials that use CHF’s research and collections to reveal the role science and technology have played in shaping our world.
  • The Institute for Research. The Institute for Research initiates, coordinates, and conducts research to foster dialogue on science and technology in society. Our work is grounded in the idea that historical knowledge is crucial to understanding the roles science and technology play in our modern world and the ways they will help shape the future. Through the Center for Oral History and the Center for Applied History, staff and fellows capture history in the making and make it relevant to all.
  • The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center for the History of Chemistry. The Beckman Center attracts and supports a community of visiting fellows. In addition to pursuing their own historical research and publications, these fellows participate in the life of CHF, contributing to our public programs, social-media outlets, and magazine and podcast while enjoying being part of a leading research center in the history of science and technology.
