Abstract:

E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company is a chemical company more commonly referred to as the DuPont Company. DuPont's Experimental Station is a large industrial research facility founded in 1903 that is focused on chemistry research. Centralized research at the DuPont Company resulted from the company's need to diversify its product base after its 1902 reorganization. The Chemical Department was renamed the Central Research Department in 1958. This small collection consists mainly of customer-focused training manuals on the topics of managing, marketing, and selling. Of particular interest are DuPont Sorona carpet samples. The materials date from 1983 to 2017. The collection has been organized into two series: General files and Training manuals.
