Welcome

Welcome to the web site of the Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry (SHAC). Founded in 1935, 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. The Society has a wide international membership of over 200 with members from 28 countries.

We hold annual meetings, offer the Partington Prize and Morris Award and publish the journal AMBIX. The Society's newsletter, Chemical Intelligence, is published twice a year.  Through the annual Award Scheme we promote research by new scholars and provide support for subject development projects in the UK and elsewhere.  Support is also provided through the Development Fund.  We have established the Graduate Network to bring together doctoral and masters students in the field.

The Society has started two new international listings: Events and Opportunities (job vacancies, fellowships, studentships, grants).  To add to these contact  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
