The article is an introduction to a future colligatory conception of history of the field 'science'. Propositions of some British authors, for example W.Whewell, W. H. Walsh, W. H. Dray, D. Thompson, L. B. Cebik, and C. B. McCullagh , devoted to problems of colligation of facts in history, were considered. Tne article's aim is to approach the history of the field 'science' to the philosophy of the field 'science'.

The purpose of the current paper is to give an account of the writings of authors who published studies on the history of the subfield chemistry in 'Kwartalnik Historii Nauki i Techniki' in the years 1956-2005. The approach adopted in the paper does make use of the work of authors who devoted their publication to related issues, but is above all meant to introduce a new dimension with regard to describing writings on the history of the subfield chemistry. The paper covers all the publications in the field that appeared in 'Kwartalnik Historii Nauki i Techniki', according to the sequence in which they were published and the sections in which they appeared in particular issues of the Quarterly. A general account of the subject-matter of the published materials is given, especially with regard to the studies published in the 'Articles' sections. The author of the current paper believes that the quantity and quality of the writings on the history of the subfield chemistry is impressive, both with regard to publications by Polish and foreign authors. Predominant among the studies published are those that deal with the internal history of the subfield chemistry, but there are also some studies that form part of the external variant of the history of the subfield. Problems of methodology, however, are rather infrequently tackled in the Quarterly. Within the internal history of the subfield chemistry, practically all authors are - to greater or lesser extent - influenced by the 'inductive history of science'. It is worth noting that 'Kwartalnik Historii Nauki i Techniki' has also published three autobiographies of eminent Polish chemists: Tadeusz Urbanski, Wojciech Swietoslawski and Zbigniew Ryszard Grabowski, as well as a thematic bloc covering articles on the Polish chemist Wiktor Kemula. A negative aspect of publications on the history of the subfield chemistry has to do with the diminishing number of authors in the area, and especially the lack of young authors who could fill the ever-growing generational gap in this metascience.
