Antoine Lavoisier was one of the early editors of the journal

Annales de chimie et de physique is a scientific journal that was founded in Paris, France, in 1789 under the title Annales de chimie. One of the early editors was the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier. In 1815, it became the Annales de chimie et de physique, and was published under that name for the next 100 years. In 1914, it split into two successor journals Annales de chimie and Annales de physique.

Annales de physique is still being published under the same name, but Annales de chimie became Annales de chimie - science des materiaux in 1978. From 1998 to 2004, it was published online by Elsevier. Since 2004, it has been managed online by the Lavoisier publishing company. Despite the name changes, the volume numbering maintained continuity between the different titles, both for the physics journal and the chemistry journal.
