Administrative / biographical background: |
(Later Liverpool Chemists' Association and the Liverpool and District Branch of the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain). Prior to 1849 attempts to form an association of chemists had been unsuccessful; in that year, however, a meeting of 40-50 chemists in Liverpool resulted in the formation of the Liverpool Chemists' Association. This name was chosen in preference to the title Liverpool Branch of the Pharmaceutical Society in order to encourage those engaged in the profession, but not members of the Pharmaceutical Society, to join. In 1922 it was decided to form a branch of the Pharmaceutical Society within the Association consisting of Pharmacists who were already members of the Pharmaceutical Society (see 615 CHE 7/1 below). After this time the name of the association was altered to Liverpool Chemists' Association and the Liverpool and District Branch of the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. A report of the first meeting of the Association appears in the Liverpool Mercury, 8 June 1849 whilst notes on the society 1849-1949 can be found in Hirst, J.L., The First Hundred Years 1949. |
