Papers of John H. Wotiz, 1927-2002 (inclusive) 1943-2000 (bulk)

Extent:

17.8 linear feet (24 boxes)

Abstract:

Correspondence, notebooks, overhead slides, article reprints, manuscripts, photographic slides, and photographs created and maintained by John H. Wotiz. The collection documents Wotiz's career as both an organic chemist and a science historian, with perhaps a greater emphasis on the latter. There is a significant amount of material relating to the life and career of Friedrich August Kekule, his bête noir, and to the holdings of various European museums dedicated to the history of science. There are also photographs, audio tapes, videotapes, and a selection of posthumous papers assembled by his friend and colleague Herbert T. Pratt.
