January 2002--The Chemical Heritage Foundation joins

the history of the chemical sciences and industries. The library
is a product of the vision and generosity of Donald F. and Mildred
Topp Othmer, and it has a unique emphasis: the history of chemical
achievement. The core of the collection was a donation of 30,000
volumes from The Chemists' Club library. It contains more than 80,000
volumes ranging from 1512 to the present, together with unique artifacts,
paper-based archives, artwork, and chemical instruments.[DETAILS]
