Welcome to the Archive Committee Page of the Cleveland Section of the American Chemical Society.
The Archive Committee's proudest accomplishments are the six Cleveland-area Chemical Historical Landmarks, more than any other local section. Chemical Historical Landmarks honor significant accomplishments in chemistry. See below for links to the brochures for the six Cleveland-area National Historic Chemical Landmarks!
If you have any suggestions for other possible Historical Chemical Landmarks in the Cleveland area, contact the Archive Committee Chair.
Responsibilities of the Archive committee include: the maintenance of two complete bound sets of Isotopics, a complete set of Annual Reports, a listing of Past Chairs of the Cleveland Section , preserving copies of letters and other source materials of potential historical interest to the Cleveland Section and searching the historical archives on request for desired historical material. The Archives are currently maintained at John Carroll University.
More information on the history of the chemical industry in Cleveland is published in Two Centuries of Progress: A Bicentennial History of the Chemical Industry in Cleveland, 1786-1996 by R. R. Hamerla. Copies of this limited edition book are available at the Cuyahoga County Library, the Case Western Reserve University library, the John Carroll University library, and the Oberlin College library.
