The Chemical Heritage Foundation is a library, museum, and archive in Philadelphia that was founded in 1982.[1] Its founding president was Arnold Thackray, who was winner of the Dexter Award in 1983, and who continued to serve as president thru 2009.[2]
THE CHF sponsors an exhibit of pioneering and landmark instruments used in scientific research. This exhibit is the result of efforts begun in 1991 by John Ferraro of the Argonne National Laboratory, and Robert Jarnutowski.[3]

Retrieved 2008-10-22. "In 1982, when the Chemical Heritage Foundation was a fledgling research organization starting out with only $50,000, it asked chemical engineers and experts around the country to serve as advisers on its council of friends. One of those who accepted the invitation was Donald F. Othmer, a chemical engineering professor at Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, an unassuming scholar who originally hailed from Omaha, Neb."
