Short answers, pulled from the story.
Chymia was founded by a committee of five scholars organized in 1947. Charles Albert Browne Jr. chaired the committee, with Claude K. Deischer, Rudolf Hirsch, Herbert S. Klickstein, and Henry M. Leicester as the other members.
Chymia published twelve volumes in total, appearing annually from 1948 to 1967. It was a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the history of chemistry.
Tenney L. Davis served as Chymia's first editor-in-chief, beginning with the inaugural issue in 1948. Davis was born in 1890 and died in 1949, leaving the position after only one year.
Almost all articles in Chymia were written in English. A small number appeared in French or German.
In 1969, Chymia was incorporated into Historical Studies in the Physical Sciences, a new journal established by Russell McCormmach. The merger placed Chymia's archive of chemistry history within a publication covering the broader physical sciences.
Russell McCormmach established Historical Studies in the Physical Sciences in 1969, the journal that absorbed Chymia. McCormmach's publication took a broader scope, covering the history of the physical sciences rather than chemistry alone.
