About
The Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF) fosters an understanding of chemistry’s impact on society.
An independent, nonprofit organization, CHF maintains major collections of instruments, fine art, photographs, papers, and books. We host conferences and lectures, support research, offer fellowships, and produce educational materials. Our museum and public programs explore subjects ranging from alchemy to nanotechnology.
Four distinct program areas support CHF’s mission.
CHF’s programs and activities have evolved throughout the years, but its mission has remained constant.
