Deutsche chemische Gesellschaft Society

Following the Chemical Society of London, other major chemical societies were established in the next few decades, among them the Societe Chimique de Paris in 1857, the Deutsche Chemische Gesellschaft in 1867, and the Amer-... 

By beginning an abbreviation with the name of the issuing society, as in the case of Am. Chem. Soc., J., one benefit is procured Most libraries index and shelve society or institutional periodicals and pamphlets under the name of the society issuing them. Whereas Deutsche chemische Gesellschaft, Berichte may be logical to a librarian, it may be more difficult for the research worker to remember. 

This was also the era in which specialist professional societies in chemistry appeared—the Chemical Society of London, the Societ6 Chimique de Paris, and the Deutsche Chemische Gesellschaft. America was late on the scene. In 1876, the American Chemical Society was a local New York society. The ACS of today really came into existence in the 1890s, 50 years behind the Chemical Society of London. The emergence of professional learned societies led to the development of scholarly journals, funded by societies. 

At the turn of the century, the academic-industrial symbiosis still primarily consisted of its classical core, which had developed in the course of the nineteenth century, mainly in the coal-tar dye industry. That core lay in a threefold relationship, each dimension reinforcing the other. The first dimension grew out of personal ties between industrial chemists and their friends and collaborators in academe, often former mentors as exemplified in the relationship of A. W. von Hofmann and Carl Martius of the AG fiir Anilinfabrikation (Agfa) dye works these ties were maintained and formalized by professional organizations like the Deutsche Chemische Gesellschaft (DCG or German Chemical Society, fd. 1867) and the Verein Deutscher Chemiker (VDC or Association of German Chemists, fd. 1887 as... 

The VOCH also kept friendly relations with the Verein Deutscher Chemiker (VDCh, Assoeiation of German chemists). OCHZ published reviews of leetures presented at sessions of VDCh regularly. Also summaries of leetures organized by the Deutsche Chemische Gesellschaft (German Chemieal Society) were reviewed in OCHZ. This will be described in more detail in the following section on publications. 

The OCHZ published various original papers, summaries of artieles from other journals, reviews, eommunieations about patents, short reviews of re-eently edited books, questions from readers to be answered by experts, reports from industry and trade and announcements and reports from VOCH. Also the Chemisch-Physikalische Gesellschaft decided to publish its minutes in the OCHZ. However, we cannot find in OCHZ original research papers in contrast to the publications of other chemical societies (like Deutsche Chemische Gesellschaft or American Chemical Society) as there had existed since 1880 the Mormtshefte fiir Chemie (Chemical Monthly)," where most Austrian chemists published their scientific papers. The intended readers of OCHZ were mainly chemists from industry (chemical and food) and administration, who wanted information about industrial developments in Austria and abroad, about new institutions, biographical notes about famous chemists and reports summarizing new developments in various fields of chemistry. 

But in comparative perspective, the growth of the Societe chimique was not impressive. Its German and British sister societies, the Deutsche Chemische Gesellschaft and the Chemical Society of London, each had more than 3100...

All three waves will be discussed below in relation to the social history of Dutch chemistry. Compared to other European chemical societies the Dutch Chemical Society (Nederlandsche Chemische Vereeniging [NCV]) was founded rather late, in 1903. But earlier, local chemical societies existed. To a certain extent, the founding of a national society still belonged to the third wave of applied-chemical and profession-oriented societies, because, as we will see, chemists working in the (applied) analysis of foodstuffs and industrial products took the lead. But other organizational models - such as the influential Deutsche Chemische Gesellschaft, with many Dutch members - were available as well, and for a number of reasons already at its founding date the NCV had a hybrid character that combined elements of a science-oriented society with those of a profession-oriented one. 

It is notable that the individual societies paid various degrees of attention to promotion of the international networks. While the Seandinavian societies showed very little interest in the period before the First World War, in Germany the three chemical societies chose different strategies, with especially the Deutsche chemische Gesellschaft working deliberately on promotion of international networking between the national societies. Its prominent members participated in, among others, the work of the International Commission for Nomenclature established in 1889 in Paris. 

When in 1911 the International Association of Chemical Societies was established, it naturally became a new centre for international collaboration between the European chemical societies especially in the domain of pure chemistry. Societe chimique and the Chemical Society were its co-founders, along with the Deutsche chemische Gesellschaft.
