It all began in March 1990 at the 40th Pittsburgh Conference (PittCon) meeting in the Jacob Javitz Convention Center in New York, New York. Coauthor John R. Ferraro stopped at the Beckman Booth and began discussing with Robert Jarnutowski, at the time an engineer with Beckman Instruments (Fullerton, CA), the impending 50th anniversary of the landmark instrument, the Beckman DU spectrophotometer, in 1991. The thought entered Ferraro's mind that landmark instruments such as this one should be preserved in a museum, Germany, England, and Italy host scientific instrumentation museums.
