Abstract:
The collection spans Professor Bassam Z. Shakhashiri's career at UW-Madison, from his hiring in 1970 until his retirement in 2021. The majority of the material is from the years during which the book series, "Chemical Demonstrations: A Handbook for Teachers of Chemistry" was published (Volume 1, 1983; Volume 2, 1985; Volume 3, 1989; Volume 4, 1992; Volume 5, 2011). The majority of the materials in this collection involve the inspiration, development, and evolution of the demonstrations included in Professor Bassam Z. Shakhashiri's 5-volume book series, "Chemical Demonstrations: A Handbook for Teachers of Chemistry" published by the University of Wisconsin Press from 1983 to 2011. With files devoted to each demonstration, the collection includes the references, early drafts, and collaborator notes that lead to the published final product. Additional materials in the collection not related to the book series include original photographs, posters, and flyers spanning Professor Shakhashiri's 50+ year career at UW-Madison, as well as print copies of many of the papers and articles he authored, or that were written about him.
