Historical texts

The texts collected at this page are quite diverse, from popular articles to perspectives written by professional electrochemists. Again, there is an intersection with the Zoltan Nagy’s ECS collection, but the items are structured to certain extent.

Prof. Fritz Scholz and Prof. George Inzelt are very important persons in preserving and disseminating the history of electrochemistry. Great initiative of Prof Scholz is a book “Electrochemistry in a divided world” (2015) containing 17 chapters. This book presents electrochemical schools from Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, and Ukraine, which actively operated even behind the Iron Curtain.

Prof Jānis Stradiņš (1933-2019) was the biographer of Frumkin, and authored a number of texts about other electrochemists (he also systematically studied the history of Baltic science, and especially of science in his native country, Latvia).
