Chlorine (CI2). The discovery of chlorine by the Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1774 marked the beginning of the modem era of bleaching. According to Sidney M. Edelstein in a 1948 journal article titled The Role of Chemistry in the Development of Dyeing and Bleaching, French chemist Claude-Louis Berthollet was the first to use chlorine to bleach cotton and linen fabrics. 

The Sidney M. Edelstein Center for the History and Philosophy of Science, Technology, and Medicine (Research Center). Hebrew University of Jerusalem http //sites.huji.ac.il/ edelstein/ (accessed October 20, 2010). The Sidney M. Edelstein Center at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem was established in 1980 to encourage advanced research in the history and philosophy of science, technology, and medicine. In particular, the center fosters research based on the resources of the Einstein Archive, the Quantum Archive, the Edelstein collections on the history of dyeing and chemical technology, and the Yahuda Theological Collection of Isaac Newton (from Web page). 

I visited several archives, some for an extended period, and many archivists have helped me along the way. I particularly want to thank those at the American Heritage Center, the Chemical Heritage Foundation, the Deutsches Museum, the Sidney M. Edelstein Center at the Hebrew University, Emory University, the Hagley Museum and Library, Harvard University, the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library, the National Archives and Records Administration, and the Post Street Archives. Several corporate archives allowed me access to their records BASF, Bayer, E. Merck, and Merck Company.
