The Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF) fosters an understanding of chemistrys impact on society. An independent nonprofit organization, we strive to inspire a passion for chemistry, highlight chemistrys role in meeting current social challenges, and preserve the story of chemistry across centuries.

CHF maintains major collections of instruments, fine art, photographs, papers, and books. We host conferences and lectures, support research, offer fellowships, and produce educational materials. Our museum and public programs explore subjects ranging from alchemy to nanotechnology.
