Arnold Thackray (born 30 July 1939) is an emeritus professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Initially an English chemist, he moved to the United States, where he founded or extended a series of institutions, initially in Philadelphia (Penn’s Department of History and Sociology of Science, and the Chemical Heritage Foundation—later the Science History Institute), then on a wider scale with the History of Science Society (HSS), Science History Consultants, and the Life Sciences Foundation.[1][2]
