The most comprehensive sources on the history of American chemistry are the series of commemorative publications sponsored by the American Chemical Society. A Half-Century of Chemistry in America, 1876-1926 (1926), edited by C. A. Browne, contains authoritative surveys of various specialties. Browne and Mary E. Weeks published a useful History of the American Chemical Society in 1952, which can be supplemented with Century of Chemistry (IB, 1976), edited by Herman Skolnik and Kenneth M. Reese. The 6 April 1976 issue of Chemical and Engineering News is a centennial review of the history of the American Chemical Society and research specialties in chemistry. Wyndham D. Miles s American Chemists and Chemical Engineers (IB, 1976), also prepared for the Society s hundredth anniversary, contains informative biographical sketches of 517 chemical worthies.
