After World War II, the analytical chemistry, as many other fields of science, required rebuilding from bases, both in terms of the research staff, as well as, the laboratory facilities. This paper discusses the emergence of new academic centres and organizational structures of the Committee of Analytical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences, whose mission was a scientific co-operation enabling the retrieval of new research achievements, representing a lasting contribution to the global achievements of analytical chemistry. This paper also includes the presentation of the most important achievements of the Committee of Analytical Chemistry and the activities of 17 late researchers, analytical chemists, and in particular of Wiktor Kemula, Jerzy Minczewski and Andrzej Waksmundzki.
