Artefacts is an association of historians of science and technology, mostly in museums and academic institutions, who share the goal of promoting the use of objects in serious historical studies. This is done (1) at annual meetings, (2) in a book series, (3) through encouraging the efforts of historically-oriented museums of science and technology. Our next meeting will be in Edinburgh at National Museums Scotland, 7-9 October 2012. more
This site is very much a work in progress. Please help with suggestions for improvements of any kind, especially corrections to the list of some 400 historical museums that treat science and technology in the museums directory. Also, information about some of the meetings is lacking and needs to be added. contacts
