History and Goals of the Society
The Chemical Society was formed in 1841 and was originally called the Chemical Society of London. His creation was the result of increased interest in the natural sciences .
One of the objectives of the Society was to hold meetings to “communicate and discuss discoveries and research, as well as the publication by the Society of reports on these discussions.” In 1847, the significance of the Society was confirmed by a royal decree, which added to the objectives of the Society in the development of science and the spread of applied chemistry in the field of industry. Members of the Society were many prominent chemists from abroad, including August Wilhelm von Hoffman , who became president of the Society in 1861. Membership in the Society was available to all interested in chemistry, but women were not accepted for leadership positions.
Edith Khamprei and her role in the development of the Company's governing bodies
In 1904, , who is considered the first female doctor of chemical sciences in the history of Great Britain (she defended her dissertation at the University of Zurich ), became one of 19 women who applied to the Society with a petition on the right of women to hold leadership positions. Such a right was officially granted to them in 1919, and Hamprey herself was subsequently elected to the governing bodies.
Chemical Society and Other Associations of British Chemists
The success was accompanied by the London Chemical Society where the chemical associations that had previously existed failed: the London branch of the Lunar Society of the 1780s, the Livestock Chemical Club of 1805, the London Chemical Society of 1824. According to the existing opinion, the reason for the success of the Chemical Society of London lay in the fact that, unlike its predecessors, it was a fruitful association of chemical technologists and academic specialists.
For many years, the activity of the Society has expanded. Over time, it became the largest publishing organization in the field of chemistry. In 1980, the Society merged with the Royal Institute of Chemistry , and the , and thus formed the Royal Chemical Society .
