A History of Mass Spectrometry (including PDF versions of historical posters) is available to everyone.

ASMS and the Chemical Heritage Foundation

ASMS has been an affiliated society of the Chemical Heritage Foundation for over 20 years. During that time, a member of ASMS has served as an Observer of the CHF Board Meetings, then as a member of the Board of Directors, and finally as a member of the Chemical Heritage Council; all the while helping to guide the development of CHF.

CHF has contributed to ASMS by providing support and assistance in a number of areas:

Collection and maintenance of significant mass spectrometry artifacts
Providing funds and services for the publication of “Measuring Mass” for the 50^th Anniversary Conference
Providing funds and services in the collection and maintenance of oral histories of prominent scientists in the field of mass spectrometry

All members of ASMS are encouraged to visit the CHF website (www.chemheritage.org) and if in the Philadelphia area, to visit the Chemical Heritage Foundation at 315 Chestnut Street, in the heart of the historic district.
