  • Norman E. Holden. (2001) History of the Origin of the Chemical Elements and Their Discoverers. Prepared for the 41st IUPAC General Assembly in Brisbane, Australia, June 29th - July 8th, 2001. | Free PDF download.
    • 'Origin' here refers to the 'origin of discovery' on Earth: "....the origin of the chemical elements show a wide diversity with some of these elements having an origin in antiquity, other elements having been discovered within the past few hundred years and still others have been synthesized within the past fifty years via nuclear reactions on heavy elements since these other elements are unstable and radioactive and do not exist in nature."
    • Sections:
      • Introduction
      • Determining The Names Of The Chemical Elements
      • Special Difficulties With The Rare Earth Elements
      • Controversial Heavy Elements
      • Individual Element Names And History
        • Alphabetical list by element name, giving the origin of their names and information on their discoverers and/or isolaters.
