SHAC is delighted to announce that its next meeting will take place at the Deutsches Museum, Munich. Following the success of the meeting at the Science History Institute in Philadelphia in 2025, SHAC is continuing its programme of holding meetings outside of Britain and welcomes offers of papers from all with a scholarly interest in the history of alchemy and chemistry.

It is intended that the first day of this two day meeting will cover the history of alchemy and early modern chemistry, while the second day will discuss the history of chemistry from then to the modern period. A tour of the museum’s collections will also be arranged as part of the meeting. Offers of papers on any aspect of the history of alchemy and chemistry, including their historiography, should be sent, with a short description, to the SHAC chair, Professor Frank James (frank.james@ucl.ac.uk), by 31 May 2026.
