Mission Statement The C.H.i.C web site is a road map to the history of the Chicago Metropolitan area's academic and industrial chemical community from the mid-Nineteenth Century through the 1960's Timeline. We seek to identify and help to preserve archival materials relating to chemistry and the chemical industry in the region Resources ; enhance access to information on individuals, institutions, and organizations in the area and their interactions Community; and make these resources available both to historical researchers and to the general public. There are inter-linked, interactive directories and bibliographies to archival and printed source material, and to local and regional repositories. The project will serve as a foundation for an expansion to broader coverage of the history of science and technology in Chicago. Scientific and engineering advances are made in the context of a community. As "the Central Science," the chemical sciences provide vivid examples of collaboration among researchers in industry, schools, government, and among related scientific and engineering fields. C.H.i.C.'s web-based resource directory and historical dictionary document the interactions that facilitated the creative and inventive processes underway in Chicago-- one century ago the fastest-growing city in the country, and then as now in the geographic heartland of the United States; a national transportation hub; and home to many major industries.
