EDITORIAL: The Future of the History of Chemistry Chemistry is a science of change. Its historiography is also on the move. So, in turn, these transmutations inevitably shape the publications that present the state of the field–including, needless to say,Ambix, the Journal of the Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry. Founded in 1937, two years after the Society itself, the journal has now completed its eightieth year in print. In 2010, SHAC marked its seventy-fifth anniversary with a conference on“The History of the History of Chemistry.” A special anniversary issue of Ambix co-edited by Robert Anderson, then Chairman of SHAC, and the Editor, Peter Morris, was published the following year, offering excellent retrospectives not only of the history of the Society, but also of the historiography of alchemy, chemistry in Europe after 1800, and more recent chemistry. To mark the journal’s eightieth anniversary, which coincides with the completion of my own five-year term as Editor, this special issue now looks in the other direction, to reflect on what the future might hold for the history of alchemy and chemistry.
