Abstract:

Black and white photographs, primarily portraits, related to the history of the American Chemical Society Division of Cellulose Chemistry.

The American Chemical Society (ACS) Division of Cellulose Chemistry began as a section within the ACS Division of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry and subsequently became its own chartered division of ACS in 1922. In 1961, the section was renamed the Division of Cellulose, Wood, and Fiber Chemistry. The section was subsequently renamed the Cellulose, Paper, and Textile Division in 1973 and is currently known as the Cellulose and Renewable Materials Division.
