Mitteilungen der Fachgruppe online
The Mitteilungen der Fachgruppe Geschichte der Chemie have generally been published every two years since 1988. Members of the Division of History of Chemistry receive the journal as part of their membership fee; others may request issues from the office upon payment of the costs. Subscriptions are not available.
The Mitteilungen publish both presentations from Division conferences and original contributions. They also contain brief conference reports. Since 2023, information on exhibitions and new publications can be found in the Division newsletter. Contributions may be submitted in German or English. For further information, please refer to the authors’ guidelines.
The Mitteilungen are regularly indexed in Chemical Abstracts and the Isis Current Bibliography on the History of Science.
Since 2016, the journal has also been freely available electronically. The contents of the Mitteilungen can be accessed via the following menu. A cumulative table of contents is available for volumes 1 (1988)–20 (2009).
