The Chemical Heritage Foundation
CHF was founded in 1982 by joint action of the American Chemical Society and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. The foundation seeks to advance the heritage of the chemical and molecular sciences by collecting and disseminating information about historical resources; encouraging research, scholarship, and popular writing; publishing resource guides and historical materials; conducting oral histories; creating traveling exhibits and other educational resource materials; and taking other appropriate steps to make known the achievements of chemical scientists and the chemical process industries.
