For these determinations and for the preliminary operations mentioned, the directions laid down by the International Association of Leather Trades Chemists are officially adopted in Europe. These specify also that the results should always represent the mean of two distinct and concordant analyses. The official methods used in America are those of the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists of the United States and of the American Leather Chemists Association and differ in some details from the European methods (see Allen s Commercial Organic Analysis, 1911, 4th edit., Vol. V, pp. 76 et seq.).

Analysis of vegetable tannins is used to determine the tannin content in the extract solution from the raw or spent materials. The tannin analysis method set up by the American Leather Chemists Association (ALCA, 1954a) is based on the absorption of materials from the extract by hide protein. It is not based on chemical analysis of a true tannin molecule.

The American Leather Chemists Association, Campus Station, Cincinnati 21, Ohio, is an important technical society which publishes its journal, holds annual meetings, and functions mainly through committees. Its declared objects are to improve methods for the analysis and testing of leather, promote the science of chemistry and its application to the leather industry, publish the results of research, and advance the professional welfare of its members. There are six categories of members who all have the right to attend meetings and receive the Journal... 

Specialist chemical societies have yet to receive adequate historical treatment. On individual societies see, however.
