The following is a preliminary announcement of the meeting to be held at
the Maison Française, Norham Road, Oxford, on Friday afternoon, 5 March
2004 (beginning at 2.15pm) and Saturday morning, 6 March 2004 (beginning 
at 9.30am).  A full programme will be circulated next week.

Research and the internet: the case of the history of science

For more than a decade, internet sites relevant to the history of 
science have proliferated in Europe and North America. These sites 
have made available a wealth of new bibliographical resources and a 
growing number of primary source-materials, including scientific 
manuscripts, correspondence, and images. The aim of this workshop 
is to review a number of key European projects in this area, with 
special though not exclusive reference to the history of science, 
medicine, and technology, and more generally to provoke discussion 
about the usefulness and historiographical implications of the 
ever-closer integration of electronic resources in historical 
research and teaching.

The speakers will include:
-  Pietro Corsi (Université de Paris 1-Sorbonne)
-  Stéphane Pouyllau (CNRS)
-  Margaret Pelling (Modern History Faculty, University of Oxford)
-  Nick Wilding (University of Cambridge)
-  Pierre-Yves Beaurepaire (Université de Nice)
-  Robert McNammee (Voltaire Foundation, Oxford)
-  Robert Bud (Science Museum, London)
-  Kate Jury (Oxford University Press)
-  William Dutton (Internet Institute, University of Oxford)
