Beschreibung

<p>The archive of science preserves the sediments of scientific practices: drafts, protocols of rejected hypotheses and failed experiments, obsolete instruments and other vestiges of knowledge-making. As science becomes increasingly digital, so does its archive - transforming not only how the scientific past is preserved, but how it is interpreted and engaged with. Digital collections clearly differ from the traditional <br> <em>lieux de mémoire</em><br> . Rather than tangible and authentic objects, they store data - processable, mutable, and dependent on computational infrastructures. How do these infrastructures shape our encounters with the scientific past? What happens to the vestiges of science when they turn into data?</p><p>Positioned at the intersection of Science Studies, Media Studies, and Digital Humanities, this book critically examines digital archives of science as infrastructures that mediate memory and knowledge. Drawing on a large<br> <br><br> corpus of scientifi c collections across disciplines and combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, it explores the boundaries and possibilities introduced by these digital repositories. Ultimately, it asks what it means to<br> <br><br> do history in and through digital archives.</p>
