Foundation president, Harvey Fineberg, and chairman emeritus and co-founder, Gordon Moore, discuss the Statement of Founders’ Intent with staff.
In December 2015, the Chemical Heritage Foundation merged with the Life Sciences Foundation to create an internationally unique institute committed to examining the history of science and its role in shaping society. The Philadelphia-based library, museum and center for scholars combines the study of life sciences with the study of physical, chemical and molecular sciences and their interaction with engineering, technology and industry.
Foundation staff and fellows conduct historic research on matter and materials, instrumentation, innovation and applied sciences, studying their effect on the modern world through oral history and applied history projects. Findings are shared through collections of historical artifacts, publications, public programs and educational materials. A quarterly print magazine, Distillations, makes history accessible through strong narratives, design and storytelling, exploring the past and present in science, culture and history.
Thank you for sharing.
