About

Many of the chemists whose papers are housed at the Science History Institute spent the bulk of their careers teaching in colleges and universities. Some but not all of these chemists also did outside work as consultants for chemical manufacturers, or served as expert witnesses during legal proceedings. Almost all were engaged in government-funded research. This guide is a list of their papers and links to the detailed find aids.
