We consider the history of science to be part of the dynamic development of any research, and we believe that the knowledge of historical context is crucial for research progress. The most reliable way to get this knowledge is by reading the important original texts of the past, instead of resorting to digests.
In this web site, we attempt to present these original texts and introduce some of the people who fostered the development of electrochemistry. We also include some secondary materials, which can be helpful in addition to reading the original texts, but they are not meant to substitute the originals.
The presented collection (under construction) was partly created at the Department of Electrochemistry (Moscow University), which belonged to Frumkin school. Frumkin’s table and his bookcase (photo above) still exist, as well as a number of historical accounts that are available online.
