Welcome

Welcome to the web site of the Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry (SHAC). Founded in 1937, SHAC has consistently maintained the highest standards of scholarship in all aspects of the history of alchemy and chemistry from early times to the present. To this goal, we hold annual meetings, offer the Partington Prize and publish the journal AMBIX.
