Project Information

This project is hosted at the Dibner Institute for the History of Science and Technology and funded jointly by the Dibner Fund and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

The project goal is to build a web-based collaborative system and digital library for the history of five contemporary technical fields. To that end, we are adapting and integrating the ArsDigita Collaborative System (specifically, its cousin openACS), and the Perseus digital library system. We gratefully acknowledge ArsDigita and Perseus, as well as the larger open source community, for making their software available to projects like ours.
