Show detail Hide detail

National Research Council of Canada. Division of Chemistry : In 1928, the federal government decided to establish National Research Laboratories in Ottawa, for the work of the NRC - specifically a chemistry, physics, biology and engineering lab. In 1929, Dr GS Whitby was appointed Director of the Division of Chemistry. By 1930, work had begun in the not-yet-completed laboratory, with research into asbestos, plastic magnesia, agricultural wastes, maple products, honey and many other products going forward - some of these projects had been started in other laboratories.

With the end of the war, the branch, based on its increased size and the re-organization required by the movement to a post-war society, was divided into two branches - Fundamental Chemistry and Applied Chemistry. In 1947, the division was re-organized into Pure and Applied Chemistry, and then by 1950, Pure Chemistry and Applied Chemistry were separate divisions.
