List of blue plaques erected by the Royal Society of Chemistry

Chemical Landmark Scheme[edit]

The Chemical Landmark Scheme is a Royal Society of Chemistry initiative recognising sites where the chemical sciences have made a significant contribution to health, wealth, or quality of life. Our distinctive blue plaques are publicly visible, giving everyone an insight into chemistry's relevance to everyday lives.[1]

A list of plaques awarded to date can be found below.
