Dear Madam, Sir,
perhaps the following project could get your attention: the Virtual
Laboratory (VL) is a digitalization project at the Max-Planck-Institute
for the History of Science (Berlin/Germany) devoted to the history of
the experimentalization of life (http://vlp.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/). Its
main focus is the interaction between the life sciences, arts and
architecture, media and technology. It consists of two related parts,
an archive and an essay section. As an archive, the VL offers numerous
scans of texts and images concerning experiments, instruments,
buildings, scientists and artists between 1830 and 1930. The essay
section constitutes a platform where historians of science, culture and
technology as well as students can present their recent research on the
experimentalization of life and explore new modes of writing history.
Your sincerely
Daniel Mätzschker
