Three leading
scientific organizations, the American Meteorological Society (AMS), the
American Geophysical Union (AGU), and the American Institute of Physics
(Center for History of Physics) (AIP), have formed a consortium to
experiment with using the World Wide Web to locate, create and preserve
historical documentation in science and technology. For selected
research topics, pioneers are
urged to submit personal recollections, documents or pointers to
collections of documents, and comments on materials submitted by others.
The material will be gathered in databases, through discussion forums
and other mechanisms familiar to most scientists. If we succeed, we will
have shown other scientific organizations how to establish low-cost
mechanisms for gathering much historical information that would
otherwise be lost.
