The Science History Institute

The Science History Institute (SHI) has become more strongly connected to AIChE. There are several AIChE Fellows among the SHI leadership. SHI was formerly the Chemical Heritage Foundation founded by ACS and AIChE. The SHI facility in Philadelphia houses the natural repository for the history of chemistry, chemical engineering, and the life sciences, the Institute’s museum and Othmer Library with rapidly expanding collections, archives, and works readily available to the scientifically curious public and scientists alike.

Oral histories include those of Patsy Chappelear, the first woman fellow of AIChE.  The history is available online and the attached photo shows Patsy accepting her printed history.
