For many decades after its founding in 1924, the Journal of Chemical Education was the principal outlet for publication for American chemist-historians. In the later 1980s, one of the motivations for the Division of the History of Chemistry (HIST) to begin publishing the Bulletin for the History of Chemistry was the "decreasing emphasis on history of chemistry in more traditional chemical journals, such as the Journal of Chemical Education." Shortly thereafter, HIST published an "Index to the History of Chemistry in the Journal of Chemical Education, 1925-1990," prepared by Martin D. Saltzman with the assistance of Daniel A. Lombardi. This presentation will discuss highlights of the index, which is newly available on the HIST website.
