chemical heritage (collections, archives and historic spaces), with
particular emphasis on:

material culture of chemistry;
- historians of chemistry and collection-based research;
- the material culture of chemistry and the training of historians and
museum professionals;
- relations between chemical collections and archives;
- interpretation of historical spaces and collections;
- biographies of spaces and objects in the history of chemistry;
- chemical heritage and the public engagement with chemistry;
- political issues in the preservation and management of scientific
heritage.
