The Roy G. Neville Prize in Bibliography or Biography is a biennial award by the Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF) to recognize a biographical work in the field of chemistry or molecular science.[1] The Roy G. Neville Prize was established in 2006 and named to honor scientist and book collector Roy G. Neville. Neville founded Engineering and Technical Consultants, Redwood City, California, in 1973. He also assembled one of the world's largest collections of rare books in the field of science and technology. The Neville collection, including over 6,000 titles from the late 15th century to the early 20th century, was acquired by the Chemical Heritage Foundation in 2004.[2][3][4]
