One of the objectives of CHEMSAF is to raise funds for growth, development and to provide scholarships etc.
One current project is the publication of a "coffee-table style" book describing the "History of the Department of Chemistry at UWI, Mona". This has been prepared by Professor Emeritus Kenneth E Magnus, one of the first graduates of the University, and Professor Robert J Lancashire, a thirty year veteran of the Department and amateur photographer/historian.

The book is being published by Ian Randle Publishers Ltd and should be available by late 2009/early 2010.
