If so, you'll be fascinated by The Chemical Heritage Foundation, whose library and museum work to document and preserve the story of how chemistry and related fields such as chemical engineering affect our lives. In particular, the Center for Oral History is a fascinating project that collects interviews, which can be accessed online here.
Interviews cover the career milestones and accomplishments of chemical engineers, chemists, and others in related fields, as well as many of their personal anecdotes and observations about their work life and professional experiences. If you'd like to delve into the history of chemical engineering and into the lives and careers of chemical engineers, chemists, and others, check out the extensive library of fascinating stories here.
