This working group will explore the intersections between the digital humanities and the history of science. Computers have transformed every aspect of our craft, from collection and curation to analysis and interpretation, and every aspect of our profession, from research and teaching to service and conferencing. We will read and discuss works that use digital tools to advance the history of science, and we will interrogate the meaning of this digital revolution for both the historical record and the historical profession.
