The Classic Chemistry website has been an internet resource on history of chemistry for chemists and educators since 1996. It was intended to be a freely available sourcebook of primary literature of important chemical discoveries of the past, a place where chemistry teachers could find, for example, what Dalton actually wrote about atoms. It grew to include a calendar of chemical birthdays and anniversaries, a set of quantitative exercises based on historical chemical data, and a list of links to other sites in history of chemistry. The presentation will include reflections on changes in the availability of classic chemistry texts in the late 1990s compared to the present.
