Chemical Heritage is a quarterly newsmagazine published by the Chemical Heritage Foundation. Chemical Heritage covers the human story of the chemical and molecular sciences, technologies, and industries, with a range from ancient times to the recent past. Topics in recent issues of Chemical Heritage have included the isolation of adrenaline, 16th-century German alchemists, the development of instant color photography, the use of chemistry in the brewery, and the Chemical Warfare Service in World War II.
Audience
The diverse readership of Chemical Heritage includes retired researchers, practicing bench chemists, historians of science, members of the chemical industry, educators, students, and chemistry enthusiasts. Articles should be written in nonspecialized language for a lay audience interested in the history and heritage of the chemical and molecular sciences, technologies, and industries.
