Contributions are invited for the History of Science section of the
Victorian Web
(http://www.scholars.nus.edu.sg/landow/victorian/science/sciov.html)
Contributions, of any length, on any subject of Victorian sciences are
welcomed for the expanding History of Science section of the Victorian
Web- one of the most visited websites for Victorian history (with
several million visitors per month). Younger scholars are particularly
encouraged to contribute.
Conference or seminar papers which will not otherwise be published are
often appropriate for inclusion on the web site.
We are particularly interested in brief biographies of key figures, and
overviews of the following areas:
professionalization of science,
secularization,
interaction between science, government and industry,
formalization of science education,
internationalism of science
Copyright of contributions remains with the author.
The History of Science section includes complete primary sources such
as:
Tyndall, Belfast Address
Maxwell, On Molecules
Babbage, Ninth Bridgewater Treatise
Duke of Argyll, The Reign of Law
Galton, Hereditary Genius
The site is also a prominent gateway for students and the general public
to gain access to themes and sources used in the history of Victorian
science. As such this growing collection can contribute to an increased
awareness of issues taught in the history of science and act as an entry
point into the published historiography. The Victorian Web is
recommended by numerous ministries of education and other organizations
around the world and receives a large percentage of visitors interested
in the Victorian age.
