Join host Meir Rinde for a new episode every other Friday with interviews, monologues, reviews, features, and more, to gain historical perspective on current scientific issues. Distillations was honored in 2009 with two New York Festivals Awards.

Blogs
	The Center: Produced by the staff of the Center for Contemporary History and Policy, The Center is a forum for historically-oriented exploration of current issues in biotechnology, electronics, pharmaceuticals, nanotechnology, and the environmental sciences.
	Periodic Tabloid: Accompany our CEO Tom Tritton on his journey as president of CHF. Look for interactions with staff and stakeholders at CHF, reflections on science education, and comments on research in the sciences, all within the context of the history CHF exists to preserve.

	The Othmer Library of Chemical History The Donald F. and Mildred Topp Othmer Library of Chemical History houses major collections of rare and modern books, papers of prominent scientists and organizations, historical photographs, fine art, and scientific instruments that form a valuable resource for studies in the history of chemistry and related sciences.
	The Edelstein Rare Book Room The Edelstein Rare Book Room houses approximately 1,000 of the over 6,000 rare books within CHF's collections. Ron Brashear, who serves as CHF's Arnold Thackray director of the Othmer Library, leads us on a tour of the Rare Book Room and offers us a look at an alchemical manuscript penned by Isaac Newton.
	The First Chemistry Textbook Ron Brashear presents Andreas Libavius's Alchymia, part of the Neville Collection at the Chemical Heritage Foundation. Libavius's 1606 work has often been dubbed the first chemistry textbook. It details alchemical processes in an organized manner, with elaborate descriptions and illustrations of substances, equipment, and recipes for experiments.
	Chemical Explorers Chemical Explorers is a new online video series that brings chemical innovation to life. This episode shows the key role chemistry may play in efforts to solve the worldwide energy crisis.
