Several histories of the Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Division have been compiled over the last century, including the one written in 1951 by Division Chairman William A. Pardee, which was published in Vol. 43, No. 2 of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry (1951).

Gushee and Steven J. Cooke, which became the basis for membership promotion material put together by the latter. The present history comprises a synthesis, enlargement and enhancement of those earlier efforts, upon which it has drawn heavily, and includes some details helpfully dug out of Society records by several ACS staff members.
