The Edelstein Rare Book Room at the Chemical Heritage Foundation

The Edelstein Rare Book Room houses approximately 1,000 of the over 6,000 rare books within CHF's collections. Ron Brashear, who serves as CHF's Arnold Thackray director of the Othmer Library, leads us on a tour of the Rare Book Room and offers us a look at an alchemical manuscript penned by Isaac Newton.


Located in Philadelphia, the Chemical Heritage Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the history of chemistry. CHF's museum, which is free and open to the public, explores chemistry's contributions to modern life. In addition to its collections and library, CHF is also home to the Center for Contemporary History and Policy, where scholars lend historical perspective to current scientific issues.
