The history of chemistry: A small guide for sailors. Part II: Books, magazines, societies, research and teaching centers

Abstract

This paper offers a guide on the history of chemistry. It is made of two closely related parts. The first one (published in a former issue of this journal) describes the development of history of chemistry as an academic discipline from its origins until the twentieth century. This second part offers the main sources of information (encyclopaedias, textbooks, journals, etc) and the characteristics of the most outstanding European teaching and research institutions on history of chemistry, relying on a survey recently carried out by the Historical Group of EuCheMs. Additional information is offered in http://www.uv.es/bertomeu.
