A Message from the President of IUHPST/DHST
Dear DHST members,
This message concerns the nomination of influential
articles or book chapters on the history of science, technology, and medicine
for a new publishing venture.
DHST has been requested by the Max Planck Institute for
the History of Science
(MPIWG) to assist them in a publication project in which
influential articles from the field of history of science, technology and
medicine will be translated into Chinese and published as an anthology. In
turn, historians of science in Asia are selecting ten outstanding articles in
Chinese to be translated into English and published by the MPIWG. The aim of
this project is to forge closer links among scholars working in the West and
East by making their work known to each other. Both publications will be
available in open access on-line, as well as in print form. The MPIWG will
obtain the permissions and underwrite the costs of translation and publication.
HSS and other societies in the history of medicine and
history of technology have also joined this cooperative project in which every
historian of science and technology can participate You can make the project
known to your mailing lists.
Your nominations (one each for history of science,
history of technology, and history of medicine) are to be submitted at:
My best regards,
Efthymios NIcolaidis
IUHPS/DHST President
